Today, we’re going to talk about an incident that occurred at a laundromat where a customer with a service dog was confronted by a new employee. The employee demanded that the customer leave the property because of the service dog, even though it is not against the law to have a service dog in public places.
Now, service dogs are becoming increasingly popular in our world today. They are trained to help their owners perform everyday tasks and are protected under federal law. However, not everyone seems to know this.
In this situation, the customer had been going to the laundromat for a few years, and the new employee had only been there for a week or two. The employee was not aware of the law that protected the customer’s rights to have a service dog with him.
The police were called, and they arrived at the scene. However, instead of supporting the customer, they tried to tell him that he was in violation of the law. Despite having documentation that proved his dog was a certified service animal, the customer was asked to leave.
The customer remained calm and explained that he had the right to be there with his service dog. He knew his rights and was not going to back down. The police threatened to arrest him for trespassing, even though he had every right to be on the private property with his service dog.
This incident highlights the need for more education about service animals and the laws surrounding them. It’s important for everyone, including employees of public places, to understand that service dogs are allowed in public places and that denying access to a service dog is against the law.
Federal, state, and local laws require that facilities open to the public allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility where the public is normally allowed to go.
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a service animal is a dog (or in some cases, a miniature horse) that has been trained to perform specific tasks for a person with a disability. These tasks may include guiding a person who is visually impaired, alerting a person who is deaf to sounds they cannot hear, or providing physical support for a person with mobility issues.
Service animals are not considered pets, and they are not subject to the same rules and regulations as other animals. They are allowed to accompany their owners in public spaces, including restaurants, stores, and other establishments.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), people with disabilities have the right to bring their service animals into public places, as long as the animal is trained to do a specific task.
However, It is important to note that emotional support animals (ESAs) are not considered service animals under the ADA.
ESAs provide emotional support to their owners but are not trained to perform specific tasks for people with disabilities. Therefore, they are not afforded the same rights as service animals under the law.
So, if you see someone with a service dog, please remember that they are not pets but trained animals that perform important tasks.
