Abstract
Assistance dogs in Portugal -guide dogs, hearing dogs and service dogsTodays society increasingly tries to provide a way to ease and improve the quality of the human being life.Assistance dogs is one of them.Guide dogs help blind people, hearing dogs assist people with severe hearing difficulties and service dogs help people with mobility, organic or mental problems.This type of dogs undergo a learning process using a specialized training in accordance with the type of users.Positive reinforcement and clicker techniques are the most used to achieve those aims.Moreover, breed and temperament choice is of utmost importance as the safety of people with disabilities is at stake.The main objective of this study was to characterize assistance dogs in Portugal in order to achieve that goal, two types of questionnaires were made, the first one to associations that train assistance dogs, and the another one to assistance dogs users.Inquires were made to three associations and 32 users throughout the country.It was found that Labrador Retriever is the most used breed due to its relaxed personality, its memory and its physical ability.The importance of neutering/spaying and vaccination was also accessed for all dogs.Finally we found that dog users feel more confident, secure, with better self-esteem and manage to socialize easier with society in general, after these animals were envolved in their lifes.In our days, law"s allow these type of dogs to accompany their users in any public place, whether transport or commercial facilities, therefore enabling establishment of very strong connection with their owners since they share almost all their daily tasks.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
