PostHeaderIcon Assistance Dogs and the Law

"One woman very courteously approached me in a grocery store, saying, "Excuse me, but I must ask why you've brought your dog into the store." I told her that Grace is a service dog.... A few minutes later, she returned. "Excuse me, but you told me that your dog is allowed in the store because she's a service dog. Is she Army or Navy?"
Macy Terry Thistlewaite - Author

The information on these links is intended for general information purposes only, and is not legal advice. Legal advice depends on the specific facts and circumstances of each individual's situation.
