✅ Answer & Quick Info

B) Dogs (and sometimes miniature horses) individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability.

Under the ADA, service animals must be specifically trained to perform tasks directly related to a person’s disability — such as guiding someone who is blind, alerting someone who is deaf, pulling a wheelchair, or detecting seizures.

🐾 Note: Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) provide comfort but are not considered service animals under the ADA.
