PaulaO replied to Sarah Truex's discussion 'DAD Discrimination' in the group Diabetes Alert Dogs"Do a Google search on the SD laws in your state. Many states have additional laws that provide even more rights and actually help. Like, some states have laws that add punishment if someone harms a service dog."
