What the petition asks

Pass legislation to give dogs for therapy or assistance for reason such as anxiety and autism and other difficulties that benefit from having them at home and in shops or wherever they go the same protection as guide dogs

Because this will significantly benefit me and being denied having a therapy dog even with he support of a medical letter at the supported living where I live but not only that will also support many other thousands of people with autism anxiety sensory issues and mental health problems with day to day life and give them the protection and recognition they so dearly need
