Interesting.............
i think they did a horrible job on their home page- they make it seem like something everyone can do "are you tired of not being able to bring your companion everywhere"- which is not what a service dog is about. However, the link to WHAT is a service dog says:

It is defined by the ADA as any physical or mental condition that substantially limits a major life activity. Activities such as walking, bathing, caring for oneself (mentally and physically), and hearing are some examples of major life disabilities. Some disabilities may not be visible such as deafness, epilepsy, or psychological conditions. Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) of 1996, an individual is not required to disclose any information about their health status or medical history.

which is also good to know.... very interesting website... they need to re think some of their wording i think...
