First, I would like to tell you an interesting fact that I discovered while looking for more information on *Certifications for Service Dogs* over the Internet. One of the larger places to &#8220;Register&#8221; and receive a certificate and patch is located not in the U.S. but in Cuenca, Ecuador. What does this mean? They do not have to follow the same regulations as a U.S. based company. And while they offer registration does the customer know where their dog is then registered? A central Service Dog Registry? No,\u00a0there is no such organization. So that means that the dog or rather the owner with the credit card is now on a list. One can only wonder how secure that info is or how many times that individual&#8217;s personal information is resold on mailing lists. So for the low price or $75.00 (and for such businesses this is relatively a low price) you receive a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE and this is why the definition is here. Are they certifying that the dog is a Service Dog? No, as the definition says &#8220;the supplied good meets the required specifications&#8221;. If you send in the payment and requied information you will receive this certificate, an ID Card, and a Patch. They are honest in that they do state that none of this is required but they also mention how their product is a valuable resource to make sure that businesses comply with the law. And to show how in touch they are with the law they have a picture of the Dept. of Justice Seal on the front page of their site.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From BusinessDictionary.com\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Certificate of Compliance: A document certified\u00a0by a competent authority\u00a0 that the supplied good or service meets\u00a0the required specifications.\u00a0 &#8230; http:\/\/www.businessdictionary.com\/definition\/certificate-of-compliance.html Why is this definition here?
