Equality for ALL Assistance Dogs

The Issue

When people think of Assistance Dogs, they almost always think of a Guide Dog.

Assistance Dogs can do so many things, too many to list, they can be Autism Assistance Dogs, Hearing Dogs, Mobility Assistance Dogs, Medical Alert Dogs and many more.

Everywhere I go, I see signs saying "no dogs except guide dogs" and as a medical alert dog handler, this directly causes me to have access issues.

My Assistance Dog gives me the independence and confidence to live my life, and without her by my side I would not have a quality of life.

I am asking the UK Government to make it a legal requirement for service providers to display a sticker which welcomes all Assistance Dogs.

Nothing changes if it isn't challenged, and if not now, when?

Join me in my campaign for change, fighting for equality for all Assistance Dogs!
