Being a servant means that you're giving or doing out of obligation. Also keep in mind that doing for someone who doesn't want or need you to is not service, it is a form of control.
To notice a need and step forward assist, be of service. This is done no matter if noticed, thanked, appreciated, recognized or not. The service being great, it's done still. It's unconditional and done with care and love. I do simply because. .
Service Dogs are not servants. Trained correctly, a service dog joyfully and intently does its job helping its handler.
A service dog is specifically trained to help people who have disabilities, such as visual impairment, hearing impairments, mental illnesses (such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)), seizure disorder, mobility impairment, and diabetes.
According to law (2011 American’s With Disabilities Act from the Department of Justice):
Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.
Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties.
Service animals are working animals, not pets.
The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability.
Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
