			I'd ignore the advisor. He or she is wrong. 
If I'm correct, you're part of a group that promotes gays and lesbians? If
yes, you've got some really good advocates on your side, people who know how
to deal with bad behavior from authority figures. I'd start by just ignoring
the advisor. If the behavior continues I'd make sure everybody knows about
it, and I'd not hesitate to use your group's skill set to make the behavior
stop.

Subject: [nagdu] when dogs are working?

hey all!

So I recently started hanging out with a group of students called the
rainbow alliance on campus. 
Being a student organization, we have a room in the student union which is
considered a "safe space" where we can relax and be ourselves. 
h=The alliance has made it clear to me that if I am on break, then,
obviously by decision but my dog should get some down time too. I agree
completely. my dog is easy to control off leash and harness. They are
completely comfortable with me taking my dog out of harness and all of the
people who hang out in the room love dogs. There are at least 3 other people
with service dogs who frequent that room, so it is nothing new to have a pup
running around greeting people.

Today, we had an advisor come in the room and tell us that our dogs are not
considered service animals if they are not in their full working gear.
My question is what should I do about this situation?
Should I fill out an incident report and have this advisor informed about
the laws and regulations about service dogs, or is he correct?

Thanks,

Abby and Puppy Jada
