ThiscomingMonday we celebrate Labor Day, a day that honors the Amer- ican labor movement and the contribu- tions that workers have made toward the strength, pros- perity, and well-being of our country. While the original intent was to highlight the social and economic achievements of human American work- ers by the organizations who founded it, we should not forget the non-human entities who have also contributed a great deal through their "labor." One of the first group that comes to mind is all the service animals that perform set tasks for the benefit of people with disabilities. The disabil- ity might be classified as being physical, sensory, psychiatric, or intellec- tual. The work performed must directly relate to the individual's disability. Those tasks performed can include, among oth- ers, pulling a wheelchair, retrieving dropped items, reminding a person to take medication, etc. The only animals allowed to serve as service animals are dogs and, in some in- stances, miniature horses. An emotional support animal is prescribed for a person determined to be emotionally or psychiat- rically disabled where the presence of the animal is necessary for the person's mental health. They are also referred to as comfort animals. With respect to emotional support animals, there are no species restric- tions. Consequently cats, rabbits, miniature pigs, fer- rets, birds, hedgehogs, etc., can qualify. They do not re- quire specific task-training because it is their presence that alleviates the symp- toms associated with the disorder. These animals provide comfort to peo- ple in hospitals, nursing homes, disaster areas, etc., and also to people with learning difficulties. Herding dogs have been around as long as humans have been keeping sheep and cows. It is one of the most traditional of ca- nine careers. The herd- ing dog was developed to help control and direct herds of cows or sheep out to pasture or back to the barn. Varying in size, ap- pearance and country of origin, these dogs all have a natural ability of being able to successfully guide other critters, much larger or quite different from themselves. The Ameri- can Kennel Club currently recognizes 25 breeds in its Herding Group desig- nation. Let us not forget the military dogs who fight alongside our brave sol- diers. Military working dogs play a critical role in our defense and are cru- cial to the safety of our service personnel. For de- ployment in the Middle East, the Belgian Mali- nois is the military dog of choice and, with compact build, is considered better for the tandem parachute jumping and rappelling operations undertaken by Navy SEAL teams. The U.S. Navy currently relies on the bottlenose dolphin and the California sea lion because of their sen- sory capabilities and div- ing abilities. Both species of animals can make re- peated deep-water dives without suffering the ef- fects of "the bends" like humans do. I like to call them the "Super Cops". Police dogs, commonly known as "K- 9s", are trained to assist police and other law en- forcement personnel with their work. Most often, they are trained to guard their handler, and to find, chase, intimidate, and hold suspects who are at- tempting to elude the po- lice. They also help with crowd control, and sniff- ing-out drugs or explosive materials. Because they must understand each other completely when working in stressful, dan- gerous, and often rapidly changing situations, the dog and handler train and work as a team. In addi- tion to dogs, the "10-foot- tall cops" in the New York City Police Department's horse patrol is one of the largest mounted units in the United States. The added height and visibil- ity that the horses give al- low officers to view a wide area, and permits people to see the officers with- out difficulty. Both scenar- ios help to not only deter crime, but, allow people to find officers easily when in need. Who can ignore the un- believable working dogs of "Search and Rescue"? Trained to find survivors and cadavers from natural disasters and mass casu- alty events, they are also utilized to locate missing, trapped, or injured people and animals. Many of us can certainly remember the gallant efforts of the dogs at the World Trade Center in the aftermath of 9/11. According to FEMA, it was "largest deployment of search dogs in U.S. his- tory." Their abilities and dedication have saved in- numerable lives. Labor Day is a day to honor the workers of our nation. Many animals have also contributed heavily to our prosperity and well-be- ing. Let us take a moment to honor them, too. RonnieCaseyisvice president of PETS — Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter. She can be reached at rmcredbluff@gmail.com.
