[nagdu] Washington DC metro area puppies (add Rockville ADA)

[Tom Hunter]

Update: I talked on phone, with someone with the ADA branch in
Rockville, MD (The county seat of my house) and she confirmed:

Any dog I have, trained to help me (including trained by me) who is an
assistance animal for me, who has a disability (I am legally blind)

would therefore be allowed in any public place, per ADA?
