A dog can help the handicapped, thus a guide dog. I believe a certain monkey can too. I think in the Guinness Book of World Records there is a horse that actually takes the place of a guide dog.

Blind: If you are blind then the dog is trained to help you cross the street and steer you away so you don't run into people.
When dog and owner reach the curb, the dog stops, signaling to the owner that they have reached a crosswalk. Dogs don't know the color of traffic lights, so the handler must make the decision of when it is safe to go across the road. The handler listens to the flow of traffic to figure out when the light has changed and then gives the command "forward." If there is no danger, the dog proceeds across the road in a straight line. If there are cars approaching, the dog waits until the danger is gone and then follows the forward command.
Deaf:They hear what people say, and then do it .
Sometimes, when the master's hearing is too severely damaged, the dog would just talk to their master with hand/body signal.
