A disability assist dog, as it's set out in the Dog Control Act 1996, is a dog certified by those eight organisations, that I won't go through again, as being a dog trained to assist or as a dog who is in training to assist a person with a disability. That change is needed because disability assist dogs perform and, as I said previously, provide an invaluable service to many New Zealanders living with a disability who rely on the skills of their disability assist dogs to enable their participation in society on a daily basis.
