I hope he wins a lot and that this case is pivotal in ending this nonsense of support animals in all manner of public places. Have them if you want but keep them home or well managed. I also don’t want to see them in a grocery store or other shopping place and dang sure not in eating establishments.
A lab pointer as a lap dog? Should have never happened in the first place just on the basis of the animal’s size.

The owner is obligated to keep a service animal under control at all times. This guy is completely liable.
The ADA does not require certification. Covered entities cannot require documentation. Because they can’t ask for documentation, I refuse to write letters for patients requesting it.
Emotional support animals are NOT considered service animals under the ADA.
“Q37. Do commercial airlines have to comply with the ADA?
A. No. The Air Carrier Access Act is the Federal law that protects the rights of people with disabilities in air travel.”

Looks like I was wrong, Drango, the government does make it a problem for the airlines and includes emotional support animals there, even though they’re not under the ADA.
