has spent if the dog is still around.. if not then its had
depending if the dog is still alive…
alive:
HAS
dead:

Everything has to be in the same tense.
Pressent tense: HAS
If you’re referring to your dog whom is currently guiding the elderly then you would use HAS.
Past tense: HAD
If you’re referring to your dog whom is no longer guiding the elderly then you would use HAD.
