Default What is a Service Animal?

I do not take my ESA to a restaurant because I do not need Emotional Sport to eat. I have seen older females hanging on to their ESA dog for dear life or pushing the little darling throughout the eatery in a doggy stroller. No need for that.
As of this writing a service animal is a member of the equine or canine species according to ADA regulations. A service dog must be trained to provide a service to people that have a disability. An emotional support dog is a term that has little credence.
