I found an article called Service Dogs and the Rights of the Disabled by William D. Goren
This article is discusses the use of service dogs by people with disabilities. Their are certain breeds of dogs protected while the use of other breeds are not. Service dogs by law are allowed to go with you into public places. their definition of service dogs are any dog individually trained to do work or preform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory psychiatric intellectual or other mental disability. If a service dog enter a public place the personnel at the public place can make the decision on whether to call or not and see if the dogs is accepted because even though the dog is there for service it is also their for emotional support. if the person with disability misrepresents the dog as a service animal when it is not that federal crime. Some issue related to service dogs is the legality of breed restrictions. some ordinances restrict which breeds of dog can reside in a town and which can not. The breed restriction is often pit bulls. This would be great in our documentary because it gives us more federal information and what is allowed world wide not just in our organizations. If you train your dog to become a service dog because you can't afford a service dog why can't it be a service dog also?Service dogs are expensive and some people with a lot of medical problems bills can't afford it so they have to what they have to do...http://eds.a.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail/detail?vid=4&sid=d615dd00-bea1-451e-a8fb-6e8e66bba306%40sessionmgr4004&hid=4208&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZSZzY29wZT1zaXRl#db=a9h&AN=95611342
