A service animal is not a pet.To determine the difference between a service animal and a pet, we will ask if the animal is a service animal required because of a visitor's disabiliy, who is the visitor that needs the dog andwhat work or tasks the animal has been trained to perform. If the Visitor refuses to answer these questions, then it can be assumed that the animal is NOT a service animal. The dog must be on lease, on the ground, and under direct control of the Visitor with the Disability at all times. If the dog is out of control, growling, snapping, biting, and unable to control it's bodily functions, then the Visitor will be asked to remove the dog. and the Visitor will be allowed back in, but not the dog.
