I could perhaps make a stamp for that sometime. After all, ESAs are called emotional support animals for a reason, and are not limited to just dogs. However, as for SDs, the ADA states that only dogs are recognized under the official definition of "service animals." But they do have a section of law regarding miniature horses. (Why they're not recognized under the definition of service animals when they perform similar tasks to one? I don't know). Miniature horses are sometimes used to assist the blind, and as long as they perform their task(s) correctly and are trained just like any service dog, they are protected by the ADA laws and generally must be allowed into "no pets" buildings with their owners, or at least from what I can tell. They're often a great option for people who are allergic to dogs or would prefer an assistance animal with a longer lifespan.

Also, I do not mind love.
I agree that service animals tend to have strong bonds with their owners and tend to enjoy working alongside them.

Animals are amazing like that. I wish more people recognized that all animals can and have helped humanity in more ways than one, and are just as good as dogs.
