I get a runny nose and runny eyes from dogs but I also go into an allergic induced asthma attack and lose my breath. Would I be able to have the dog owner pay my ambulance and hospital bill if that happened. It is not I dislike for dogs, it is a true medical issue just as a service dog is for a disabled person. Please don't abuse the ADA laws. If you truly have a disability, you belong and I have to deal with that. If you do not have a disability, leave your dog home.

If you have a severe allergy to dogs, then why do you go around them? This is a dog friendly community. There are many area....stores, restaurants, clubs, activities where dogs are NOT allowed. Go to the places where you will not be subjected to a dog. If your allergy is as severe as you say, you should avoid ALL public places because there is always the chance of a service dog being around you. I was on a cruise recently and there was a beautiful German Shepard service dog on board. There are so many communities where dogs are totally prohibited in Florida, that would be a solution for someone with as severe of an allergy as you have.
