What is the difference between a companion dog and a service dog?

Tony Cho,

Companion dogs are highly trained and socialized dogs. They provide 
unconditional love and can provide emotional and behavioural support 
for the individuals they are bonded with. Companion dogs are a “best 
friend” for many children. Companion dogs are not certified for public 
access; therefore, they cannot be taken into public buildings. They are 
not trained to hold a child back or perform the skills of a certified 
service dog.
