I found this article titled Access Rights and Access Wrongs: Ethical Issues and Ethical Solutions for Service Dog Use by Deni Elliott and Pamela S. Hogle. People with a variety of disabilities benefit from the ADA for easy public access with their service dogs. The problem is that people with non-disabilitiy are passing off their pets as service dog. Some people are threatened by the dogs that come in public places. When people bring in their dogs that aren't service dogs in public places they are putting the people who really can in a bad position. They put them in a bad position because if something was to happen like a dog bite a child and they thought it was a service dog that will give the service dogs a bad look on going into public places with children. Some places require for you to have a certificate ready to be shown which i think is good but a little bit to much because why should you bring out a paper to show maybe they should just look at the dogs collar and can tell by that .This will be good to go in the documentary because it shows what are some of the bad things that are stoping service dogs. I don't understand why people would think it is okay to put others in danger? I think others believe that they know that he managers won ask if t is a service dog because they think it might be rude but with problems like this they all should be checked.

  1. You make really good points on why only service dogs should be brought into places. Although it could be disrespectful to ask them if it is a service dog, it is necessary. You can also try to find out places around campus that are strict on service dog policies.
