🐾 Myth vs. Fact Monday!

Myth: Businesses can ask someone with a service dog to show documentation or explain their disability.

Fact: ❌ Not true. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), businesses cannot ask for proof of a disability or demand paperwork for a service animal.

They’re only allowed to ask two things:
1️⃣ Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
2️⃣ What task or work has the dog been trained to perform?

🧠 Knowing the law helps protect everyone—businesses, handlers, and the public.

✅ Let's raise awareness and stop the spread of misinformation.
