**** Clyde's Armory!

Obviously not. Read my post.

I'm just wondering how you know it wasn't a service dog. Do you know the man? Do you know the dog? How do you know the dog is a comfort/therapy dog? Do you have a source that differentiates the two or calls the dog a therapy or comfort animal?

Your years in the military don't mean much when we are talking about comfort vs. service animal (unless you worked with them).

I can see that no matter what you just like to argue. Good for you. I think I am a little more versed as to what we use for veterans than you would be. Maybe you could read this article or have someone read it to you. I would focus extra attention to the following from the article. People in law enforcement often call this a clue:


"Russ Murray sustained physical injuries when his Humvee was blown up by an explosive in Afghanistan. He said that his post-traumatic stress disorder was so severe that he was afraid to go out of his home.

Then he got Ellie, a service dog. For the past year, the two have been inseparable. That became a problem when Murray visited the Clyde's Armory in Bogart over the weekend. "

To say nothing of the fact that this is a veteran owned and operated business, staffed by several veterans.

Will you all boycott a veteran owned business now???

It says he had it to help relieve his PTSD.

I am well versed in reading comprehension. I'm just pointing out the fact they the title given to the animal is "service dog" which has a legal definition.

You don't seem to be understanding the fact that there IS a difference.

Must be Spring Break. You sound like my kids that love circular conversations. I remember now why I usually don't post anywhere, but the swap and sale.

what a disgrace.

Nope, I'm a full time working father of three. If belittling me is the way out of a "circular conversation" with me then, by all means, use it. I'll continue to stay on topic and just ask if you know the legal difference between the two titles of animal (service and comfort/therapeutic)? If not, I suggest you look into it before you come here and try to argue with and insult people.

from NSAR.

What is the difference between a Service Animal, Psychiatric Service Animal, and Assistance Animal?
They are the same, with respect to protections and rights. The term "Service Dog" is the federal legal term and the most commonly used.

Based on your source, you have just proven that Clyde's was legally in the wrong. Congrats!

Edit: I was looking at (and quoted) federal law. Everything I've found on therapeutic/comfort pets has stated the laws don't apply to them. I'm not a lawyer so that may or may not be true.

Maybe this will help.

Again pay special attention to the part that states:

" Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA."

Carry on - I am finished here.
