I sure hope enough people are educated by the time I can't speak with them about it!!! LOL Anyway, usually after being kicked out by the police I receive an apology by the owner and a free meal!) (No hope for police? rofl) OK I'm digging in deeper here. LOL
Thanks again for sharing the ride!

Okay, so I have always known that service animals have access where other animals don't--even property mgmnt companies who don't take pets have to take service animals by law and that's a good thing. But I have to confess my ignorance. There are service dogs for the hearing impaired? I guess it makes sense that if a dog can be a person's eyes then a dog can also be a person's ears. I'd just never thought about it before. Can you expand on that a bit for the non-federal ignorants in the PC crowd?
