Closed Recognise emotional support dogs as assistance dogs

Closed on

I would like emotional support dogs to be recognised in the UK with the same rights as disability support dogs.

Many people in the UK suffer from severe mental health issues which limit what they are able to do in their day to day lives.
With the help of an emotional support dog, these simple, daily tasks which are seen as impossible by those with mental health issues, can be completed, helping them regain a normal lifestyle.
