[nagdu] Emotional Support Dog Article

Fri Apr 8 18:32:17 UTC 2011

Dear All,
    I am doing a little research to compile the various rules concerning 
service animals under the different act, i.e., the Americans with 
Disabilities Act (ADA), Fair Housing Act (FHA), and the Air Carrier Access 
Act (ACAA). This information will be shared with the list and posted on our 
website.

Fraternally yours,
Marion
