I read this in the Ziegler magazine.
GUIDE DOG ASSOCIATION LAUNCHES INNOVATIVE HOTLINE

The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) - the leader in service animal policy & advocacy – provides an innovative service concerning guide and other service dogs. The NAGDU Information & Advocacy Hotline offers general information about service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as specific guidance concerning restaurants, taxicabs, and health care facilities. In addition, individuals facing discrimination have the ability to speak with a special advocate trained to mediate access issues. Future plans for the hotline include summaries of each of the state laws concerning service animals, more industry specific information, and guidance in a variety of languages, such as Mandarin and Arabic. The Hotline is available anytime by calling, toll-free, 888-NAGDU411 (888-624-3841). 

The NAGDU Information & Advocacy Hotline was created by a grant from the National Federation of the Blind's (NFB) Imagination Fund, as well as with contributions from the California and Florida Associations of Guide Dog Users. The National Association of Guide Dog Users is a strong and proud division of the NFB. NAGDU conducts public awareness campaigns on issues of guide dog use, provides advocacy support for guide dog handlers who face discrimination, supports sound policy and effective legislation to protect the rights of service animal users, offers educational programs to school and civic organizations, and functions as an integral part of the National Federation of the Blind. For more information about the National Association of Guide Dog Users and to support their work, you can visit their website at: HTTP://WWW.NAGDU.ORG
