Ask Hopeful Henry: Can you give me the scoop on Service Animals?
Submitted by paula on Thu, 08/04/2016 - 7:54amDear Henry,
I am a business owner can you please explain the situation with “Service Dogs,” what is considered a service dog and what do I have to allow in my place of business which is a restaurant. I don’t want to get in trouble with ADA or the Health Department.
Thank you, Bob
Great question Bob!
This is an issue we get calls on all the time. I am going to be answering this question with information directly from the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, and Disability Rights Section.
