I don't know about NY values, but in California it is against the law to ask for documentation, you can ask if it's a service animal and that's about all, it does make for easy abuse but was intended to keep the animal's owner from constantly answering what could be embarrassing questions. I hope somebody gives this muzzie an uber beating.
“I’ll take a bad dog over a good politician any day!”
Great, I’ll try to stuff my neighbor’s pitbull in a gunny sack and drop it off in your living room.
BTW, I like good dogs.
Its a federal law that you cannot ask for documentation. You can only ask two questions. 1. Is the dog required because of a disability 2.What work or task has the dog been trained to perform.
I have a very good friend who has a service dog for health reasons. He takes the dog everywhere.
