[nagdu] Advance Notification

[Marion Gwizdala]

Julie,
    I guess my question would be, "Why am I being asked for identification, 
if not as a precondition to access?" My assumption would be that the request 
to produce identification prior to entering a place is for the purpose of 
determining whether or not the dog is a service dog. What other reason would 
there ve for asking for documentation?
