I think a lot of times the two are confused, but there is a difference based on the types of "jobs" they perform. I think that laws only [officially] protect the rights of those with service animals, but not neccessarily therapy animals...
not nesessarily. If someone cannot access a public facility due to anxiety and the service dogs allows them to do so- then they are providing a service- which is what guide dogs do as well- they allow an otherwise capable person to access somewhere they would otherwise be unable to.
