[NAGDU] Service dog license

[Michael Hingson]

The questions are quite legitimate. Also, consider the fake service dog and
its owner who puts a guide dog type harness on their dog. Now go into a shop
where an owner asks the questions. An astute shop owner might become
suspicious depending on how or  how well the owner answers the questions.

I do not mind anyone asking the questions so long as it stops there. 


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

I am not sure the questions can't be asked. They are legitimate, but they
could be considered a little stupid if they are asked.

Yes, according to the ADA they can only ask those two questions as to if the
dog is a service dog and what test does it perform. In the case of guide
dogs those questions are answered by the guide dog harness. Therefore those
questions cannot be asked of guide dog handlers because the answers are
obvious
