Petition Allow anxiety and mental health assistant dogs rights to enter shops and other public places

More details

Many people have different mental health issues that can be most identifiable when they are in public places. I myself have social anxiety problems which I found easier to manager with my dog around.
I also know may people with depression and other mental health issues that also find them easier to manage when they have their dog around.
I wish for people with such problems to be given the chance to take their dig with them, when entering public places which could be stressful. Though dogs shouldn't not be assistant dogs if they are aggressive towards people.
