Service dogs are an important part of our community. They are trained working animals who support people with disabilities in their daily lives.
�When a service dog is wearing a vest, it is on duty and needs to stay focused. The best way to support them is to give them space, avoid petting, calling their name, or distracting them.
�Respecting service dog etiquette helps create a more accessible and inclusive campus for everyone.� �Video Description: Layla (SAS Student Ambassador) discusses her experience meeting Yolanda, a service dog in training.
