Description

Service animals are more than loyal companions—they are highly trained partners that provide life-saving support for individuals living with physical, neurological, and emotional challenges. But despite their crucial role, many people with service animals face ignorance, resistance, and outright discrimination. In this episode of Diverse Talking Heads, we explore why service animals are necessary, how they transform lives, and why society still struggles to fully accept them. Join our diverse panel—including a service dog handler, for a raw, eye-opening conversation that challenges misconceptions and highlights what true inclusion really looks like. From public access battles to the problem of fake service animals, we’re unpacking the stigma, the laws, and the humanity behind every leash and harness.
🔹 Real stories
🔹 Hard truths
🔹 And the call for greater empathy and awareness

This isn’t just about animals. It’s about the people they serve—and the respect they deserve.
