To give assistant/therapy dogs the same recognition as Guide and Hearing dogs.

Closed 92 signatures

What the petition asks

Guide/Hearing Dogs are recognised by shops to give them admission. However, therapy and assistance don't have the rights to enter establishments with those they support, this disadvantages the person the dog is with. I am looking to give these useful dogs the same recognition in law.
