ES dogs are trained. They are especially helpful for people suffering from PTSD. Those dogs (and other animals) are recognized by the ADA when the individual has a note from a doctor, therapist or psychiatrist stating there is a need for the animal.

On the plus side, at least she wasn't carrying a pig.
You are entirely correct. We even saw a dog on a cruise ship recently for the same reason: emotional support. Lucky dog
