I'd like to share this with you guys.
It was a sad day for a friend of mine who tried to attend an AKC event as a spectator accompanied by her service dog (well behaved, trained, and wearing his vest).
I'm aware of the AKC's view on prong collars, but the law protects the disabled individuals rights.
In addition to what is in the article, my friend was asked "what type of service dog he was and whether I had any identification for him"
Legally the only two questions should be:
(1) Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability and (2) What work or task has the dog been trained to perform.
Please share your opinion after reading the article.
