Hi everyone, 
So we can save the public from the confusion the dogs identified in this thread are detection dogs. They do not fit the definition of a service dog. I know it can get confusing with service dogs such as medical alert dogs but, I'm sure you can all identify the difference. I hope this clarified the confusion.
