Where this breaks down is with churches and other religious institutions. 
Where it gets interesting is when a church serves as an election polling
place or is host to a nonreligious activity, an AA meeting, a basketball
tournament, that sort of thing. 
So for example, if you wanted to go to a church service and the people in
charge didn't want your dog there, your dog wouldn't be allowed.  
Now if you wanted to see how voting worked and someone said to you "Hey,
come with me to see how this works" and the polling place was at the same
church that told you "no dog" you could indeed bring your dog while you were
there to see your pal vote.

Tarzan,

In the United States we have a law called the Americans With Disabilities
Act. Under this law any service dog, (this includes guide dogs), can to any
place their handlers go. I have the right to take my guide dog on public
transportation, into restaurants, hotels and other places, and again
anywhere I wish to go. As long as your guide behaves and is under your
control you have the right to take your guide anywhere.

If you need more information please feel free to email to the NAGDU list or
email me at mike at michaelhingson.com. 


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

Hi, everyone.

I'm Tarzan living in Japan.

I want to travel across the US with my guide dog after pandemic. But I don't
know how comfortable the trip with a guide dog in the US. I'm worried that I
may be defused at restaurants, hotels, trains, taxi, airplanes, etc. If you
live in the US, could you tell me about these things.

Kind Regards

Tarzan and Ui
Japan
