Sigh. I am physically disabled, and I have a service dog. A service dog is simply a dog trained to perform a service that helps with a person’s disability. In order to have a service dog you must be disabled. Disabilities may be physical and/or mental.
An emotional support animal is not necessarily trained in any special way. They help people who have emotional difficulties.
The ADA is very specific about service animals, thank God.
I don’t care what this poor guy was doing. Separating him from his service animal and not giving her back is not only cruel, it violates the ADA. This is a disgrace.
I’m sorry to hear of your disabilities, but thank you for the clarification.
