[nagdu] Dave, Tammy, & Maddox Anspach

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

I'm curious to know how the hand-off went. Did Debbie need a dog and was
Leader Dogs involved? Or did Dave leave Debbie Maddox in his will? 
I ask because I'm curious. Was Leader Dogs involved at all? 
Are there any other instances of similar situations happening and how
were they handled if the dog was owned by a school? 
This is very interesting. 
And, I'm glad to  know Maddox is still working. Why I find that
comforting, I can't say.

Dar,
    The dog was trained by Leader Dogs prior to their changing their
ownership policy. Therefore, Dave - and Tammy upon his passing - owned
Maddox and have the right to transfer this ownership to whomever they
wish. 
By law, a service animal is any animal specifically trained to provide a
service to a person with a disability. Since maddox is a service animal
and debbie is disabled, she has every legal right to use Maddox as her
guide dog. I hope this helps answer your questions.

fraternally yours,
Marion
