It's the law

A business or state/local government facility is allowed to ask:

1. Is this a service animal required because of your disability?

2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

A business or state/local government facility can ask that the service animal be removed if:

 - The dog is out of control, and the person cannot get the dog under control.

- The dog is not housebroken.
