[Nfbmo] Laws in Missouri for service animals

[Julie McGinnity]

Hi Bryan,

That is the beauty of training your own dog.  Noone checks on you,
evaluates you, or is anyway involved with the progress unless you
arrange for help yourself.  That is one of the reasons blind people
choose to train their own dogs.  They don't want a program all over
them, checking on them.

Remember that these are dogs first...  Any service animal that is
being abused can be taken away by local authorities.
