[nagdu] Local business asks service dog to leave

[Meghan Whalen]

That is a valid point Marion.  If the dog's alerting response is untrained, 
does that mean the dog cannot be a service dog?  Don't most dogs who alert 
to such things just do it out of instinct?  I'm really not sure, but I do 
think that if they respond, whether trained or untrained, that capability is 
benefiting the handler.  This is all, of course, if the gentleman in 
question has a documented disability or if he has self-diagnosed, which is 
not necessarily entirely invalid, but is not sufficient defense to take 
legal action.

There are so many loopholes and what-ifs, and I wish people weren't so good 
at finding them.
