[OAGDU] THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH: Fake service dogs are a real thing. Here's what Ohio law says about service animals

[Richard Payne]

Good morning,

 

Yesterday I put a message out on our state list and the request is for anyone in Ohio that has delt with any denials in Ohio by uber or lift to write me off list giving the details.

 

We will be reaching out to the company and need supporting information.

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.

It says the service animal must be identified.

 

I wonder what they consider "identified"?
