[nagdu] Housing and Dog guides

[Marion & Martin]

Lora,
    I am of the opinion that, since the presence of a service animal is 
irrelevant because one cannot be denied access to a facility based upon the 
presence of such an animal, it is not a good idea to give advanced notice. I 
feel that all it does is set us up for discrimination. The person who is 
told may think, "There must be a reason for this person to tell me he/she 
has a service animal. What do I need to do?" This may result in assistance, 
aid, accommodations, etc. that are not wanted nor needed. JMHO!

Marion
