Paraphrase It: "Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA."

• Service animals are also like pets for the people they help. It is often comforting for people with disabilities to have their pets help them with their daily activities.

• Service animals are there to work, not to be pets. The job they do must be helpful to the person's disability. If the dog is providing emotional support and comfort they would not be counted as a service dog according to the ADA.

• There is a strong connection between a person's disability and the work their service dog performs. The job of a service dog goes beyond emotional support - as required by the ADA, these animals have received specific training that relates to the person's disability.

Paraphrase It: "Soldiers returning from the wars often bear the hidden scars, now called the "signature wounds" of combat: post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. An estimated one in five service members who have been deployed suffer from PTSD. More recently, service dog organizations began to realize the companionship and responsibility that come from working with animals could help soothe PTSD."

• Help can come in many different forms. It can be emotional as well as physical. The bond and relationship a service dogs can offer is beneficial to soldiers who have had intense experiences while at war. This is important to know because as many as one in five service members deal with is post-traumatic stress disorder in their lives after serving.

• Sometimes soldiers come home from war with different wounds. Most people come home safely but just a few have to deal with injuries, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Service dogs can help identify the people that have those injuries.

• Soldiers coming home from war will commonly be scarred by post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. About one in five people who have served deal with this. Lately, service dog organizations realize that have an animal friend is helpful for people with PTSD.
