Have you ever seen a Lab in the lab or a hound on the grounds? Whether you are working alongside a service animal, benefit from one yourself, or you are faculty or an academic administrator, it is important to become familiar with the reasonable accommodations we should consider for service dogs in the lab, the critical differences between service dogs and therapy or emotional support dogs, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that allows service dogs access.
