[nagdu] The Requirement of a Harness

[Marion & Martin]

Rox,
    One thing we need to do is be specific and consistent with our 
terminology. Public accommodations are required to modify policies, 
practices, and procedures to allow a disabled person to be accompanied by a 
service animal.. The Air Carrier Access and the Fair Housing Acts also 
provide access to assistance animals and such access has different rules 
than those for service animals. I'm not trying to be argumentative, only 
clear.

Fraternally yours,
Marion
