I have a daughter- Young adult (19) who is terrified of dogs & very 
allergic to dogs. She is in a wheelchair-so hard to get away from them- 
but service dogs are supposed to be washed regularly to eliminate 
dander & shedding hair. I think people with service dogs don't all 
follow the rules as well as they should making health issues for others 
around then with & without disabilities.   joy   Ct
