[Micgdu] Service animals / public transportation

[Larry D. Keeler]

Thanks Margo! Figured you'd know something! Although I know someone in our area who claims his amazon parrot helps him with his schizophrenia. I've seen him on the bus and in a cab or to. Don't think anyone's challenged him because the bird behaves pretty well but he might have to be careful if they ever do!

  Russell, this is indeed an interesting question.  The Department of Justice has limited service animal to the dog and sometimes the guide horse.  The Department of Transportation has not changed its regulations so any animal can be a service animal.

  Let me look. I think dog is usually implied though. Any ADa exxperts out there? I do know that some places are not alolowin horses yet.

    I would like to know if there is a different standard for what is considered  a service animal for public transportation, or is the dog the service animal and not all other types of animals. Does the Federal transportation have different rules than the justices department have.

    Thanks

    Russell Smith
