Personal Reflection

Assistance Animal partnerships involve responsibilities as well as rights.

How would you respond if what you needed from your Assistance Animal conflicted with what your animal needed for their own health, safety or welfare?

For example, you may have an important appointment or activity but notice that your Assistance Animal is unwell, distressed, overwhelmed, unusually distracted, or otherwise not coping.

Reflect on how you would balance your needs, your animal’s welfare, public safety, and any backup options available to you.
