A dog in a harness, indicating that assistance dogs are admitted.
Also known as: Guide dog symbol, Service dog symbol, Working dog symbol, Assistance dogs welcome
A harnessed dog in profile marks a place where assistance dogs are welcome. The harness is the load-bearing detail: it distinguishes a working animal at its job from a pet, which is the distinction the sign exists to communicate.
Indicates that assistance dogs are admitted to a place where animals would otherwise be excluded.
Contexts: Public information
Shows the dog in a harness or marked coat, the visible sign that the animal is working rather than accompanying its owner as a pet.
Contexts: Public information
Covers more than guide dogs for blind people: assistance dogs are also trained for hearing alerts, mobility support, seizure response and medical detection.
Contexts: Public information
Signals a policy, not a legal position: rights of access for assistance dogs are set by national law and differ between countries, and the presence or absence of this sign does not settle them.
Symbolwise describes the symbol, not the law. Anyone relying on a right of access should check the rules in their own jurisdiction.
Contexts: Public information
A dog drawn in outline and shown in profile, standing or walking, wearing a rigid harness whose handle rises as a short vertical bar above its back.
