Know The Law
What is a service animal?
A service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person’s disability.
What questions can a covered entity’s employees ask to determine if a dog is a service animal?
In situations where it is not obvious that the dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person’s disability.
Are service-animals-in-training considered service animals under the ADA?
No. Under the ADA, the dog must already be trained before it can be taken into public places. However, some State or local laws cover animals that are still in training.

A Dog Named 647
Dr. Nancy Kay is a vocal animal welfare advocate who speaks out against puppy mills, large-scale breeding facilities where profit is prioritized over the physical and psychological wellbeing of the animals. The breeding dogs spend their lives in cramped, filthy cages, producing litter after litter of puppies. Without proper nutrition or veterinary care, their health deteriorates and they are disposed of. Puppy millers sell most of their “livestock” online and via pet stores. Approximately 95% of pups sold in pet stores come from puppy mills.
Dr. Kay’s recent novel, A Dog Named 647, brings awareness about puppy mills to middle grade kids. She believes they can and will make a difference. To avoid a puppy mill purchase, never buy a puppy from a pet store and never by a pup online without paying a visit to the kennel and meeting the mama dog (most puppy mills do not allow visitors).
