A service dog has been trained to perform specific tasks to aid a person with a disability. This often requires years of training to achieve the level of skill needed to assist his/her human. Under the ADA, an individual with a disability is a person who:
• Has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities;
• Has a record of such an impairment; or
• Is regarded as having such an impairment.
