Greetings all,
watching this delta thing starting to spin.
as a guide dog user i do have ID and as a dog owner,
my home town requires all dogs to be licensed, to get that
you need current vaccination documentation from a vet.
so my dog's tag meets the requirement delta wants.
sounds simple to me.
if some one is faking a disability, do you think that qualifies
as an actual mental disability?
