What is a service animal?

​

A service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability.  The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person's disability. ​Service dogs may be any breed and size, and must adhere to strict etiquette on top of their tasking duties.
