yes, in order to be a "service dog", the dog has to be able to perform task. My did 5 task. I did a story on him with video if you want to find out what he did for me. oh, and he still lives with me. I just cant travel with him any more. (yes, he flies on an airplane and lays at my feet) https://steemit.com/life/@thedeplorable1/in-honor-of-retiring-service-dog-adonis
The US Veterans Admin produced the video about him!

I hope you are able to get another service dog soon. Will the VA provide assistance?
