Service dogs and Emotional Support dogs help people. Even a pet dog can be trained in tasks to help people such as with opening home doors when the owner is holding things.

It depends on the needs of the person who is disabled. If they just need medical alert, and live in a small home, a smaller dog may be best, however if they need some support or bracing, a bigger type of dog might be best.
