So is her dog... an actual certified....."SERVICE Dog"??????
Or not and it is just her pet, that she trained to bark?
Big difference.
IF her dog, is an actual SERVICE Dog, then I would think that would be proof, and from/of her Doctor, and that she is "handicapped" and needs that dog and the dog is merely doing its "job."
SO then, the Police, should know that too.
AND if the Dog is a "SERVICE" dog, then the dog would be wearing its "vest" indicating that it is a service dog.
And this would then legitimize... the dog and its use. FOR her etc.
AND per her hearing condition... does she not fall into a "handicap" category, etc?
Perhaps, she also has to, have on her or in her residence, a legal letter from her Doctor, that says, she is hearing handicapped etc. and needs the dog... because it is a SERVICE, dog.
But the thing is, it seems her dog is just her, pet.
NOT A certified, SERVICE dog.
And she does not have, any legal papers saying she is needing such a dog etc. in her DAILY life etc.
AND, can those neighbors, even have... a HOME business, out of their house??? Check on those laws, too.
AND you can also complain about them, too. Or if it is or not, a LEGAL business etc.
LOOK up the LAWS for the hearing impaired or for the Deaf or for the disabled.
