Service dog

My wife is in a wheelchair and we are in the process of getting her a service dog. When the trainer was here on Wednesday, I found out that they actually have service dogs for Crohn's Disease. So this dog could be serving a dual purpose.

What does a service dog do for crohn's?

Something about having the dog for comfort can release endorphins.

So would you need an expensive service dog for that? Any trained dog can provide love and help sick people release stress and feel happier.

I guess you could do it with any dog. I like where you include prayer as part of your medicine.

Thank you. Prayer can be very powerful. We have a prayer club on here if you would like us to pray on your or your wife's behalf http://www.crohnsforum.com/showthread.php?t=48847

It turns out that the dog can sense when you are in pain and apply heat there.

That's amazing and sweet. Your wife is also disabled so maybe a dog can serve a full range of services b

What does the b stand for?
