A service dog, or assitance dog- depending on the terms, the dog is a service/assistance to the owner. Could be to stand up, or retrieve things, or even detect seizures and even mental disorders.
This is an actual job- either trained for it, or in the case of mental disorders or seizures, the dog has a natural gift for it..
