Assistance Dog Harnesses
Assistance dogs will sometimes wear a harness if part of their job includes guiding or providing physical or mobility assistance. A handle is generally built in for the person to grip, along with more reinforcement or padding in the breast area of the dog. Overall sturdiness of the design depends on whether the dog is gently leading, acting as a brace, or physically pulling a wheelchair (where the design may be similar to that of a sled dog's).

Famous quotes containing the words assistance and/or dog:
“Each [side in this war] looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Leva tells me you’ve been eyeing the Captain’s wife like a hound dog at hunting time.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
