In this episode, we ask a bigger question: are service dogs sometimes treated as a Band-Aid for barriers society should be fixing?

We talk about the medical and social models of disability, the independence and support service dogs can provide, and what happens when access still depends on businesses, systems, and strangers understanding disability. We also consider the dog’s side of the partnership—the work they perform, the expectations placed on them, and why improving accessibility can’t begin and end with the dog.
