If a service dog without its handler approached you, is it possible that its handler is somewhere and in need of assistance? The answer is yes. Another possibility is that the dog is lost or got away. Whichever situation is true, the best thing you should do is to try to help.

Patricia Hairston of Canines for Service, an organization that trains assistance dogs, says that you should talk to the dog and ask where its owner is. This might sound like a weird advice but remember that service dogs are trained to respond to certain cues. Also, find out who the dog belongs to and contact a medic.
