Petition Allow depression mental health dogs the same rights as guide dogs

More details

I would like to propose the use of assistance dogs in cases of mental health issues, including but not limited to depression and anxiety disorders.

Research has proven that animals are beneficial to those with mental health disorders, and autism dogs are already awarded the same public status as guide dogs..

Access to shops, libraries and other public areas normally closed off to animals and a strict acceptance scheme to those that are applying for these dogs.
