Yes I know service dogs are not pets. I only stated what I know that many people like to have pets to company them and make them feel good including disabled people as well. The people who suffer severe mental health, etc who need assist is Care Service, not service dog, thatīs all what I know.

and who told you that these service dogs are only for the blind people

We donīt have hearing dog here in many European countries and also donīt have assist dogs for severe disabled people as well because they have have Care Service who nurse them. We have assist dog (service dog) for blind only here in many Europe countries. I have seen many wheelchair who donīt have service dog but pet. They can do anything themselves wihtout anyoneīs assistance. Yes, UK copied USA for want to have hearing dog. Many deafies applied for hearing dogs to assist them... Unfortunlately service dog become pet since they have family etc... They did not follow the rule how to keep hearing dog instead of make them pet. I have British friends who told me that itīs waste. They have everything in household is light flashing, babies cries, fire alarm, etc. for deafies which is good enough... Here in Germany have no interesting to think about hearing dog but agree to have service dog for blind only. This is Europe culture for not interesting to have dogīs assistance. This is so... *shrug* Yes, we learn about hearing dog thru TV for the deaf over USA... we were like wow... and then learn that UK copied USA for want to have hearing dog... until they told me what a waste... I was like Oh... until I registered American forums and learn more about them and try to understand why they need hearing dog... I respect their decision after read their posts and voice my own opinion in general way.
