How dogs help deaf people?
Dogs can be trained to react to noises and to alert the owners to what's making the noise. Say if the doorbell rings, or if someone knocks on the door, the dog can nudge the owner and then walk to the door to show where the noise is coming from. Service dogs are individually trained to perform tasks that help their disabled owners overcome the limitations to daily life activities experienced because of their disability. For example, guide dogs help blind owners around obstacles they cannot see. Hearing dogs signal their hearing disabled owners about important sounds like the doorbell, a smoke alarm, or a baby crying. Mobility dogs pick up dropped items for people in wheel chairs who cannot reach them.

Can guide dogs become endangered?
It's very unlikely. From a species standpoint, guide dogs are exactly the same as any other dog, and they're abundant around the world. If dogs did become extinct, I suspect humans would also be, ie we'd about have to blow up the world for it to happen. Will people ever stop using guide dogs in favor of some other assistive device?
