Service dog or pet? Maine clarifies law

Those who try to pass off pets as service animals in Maine now face a $1,000 fine under a new law.  The Maine Human Rights Commission says many people in the disability community are unaware of the changes, which include a new category called assistance animals. Such animals are either trained or determined to be necessary to provide comfort and support to people with physical or mental disabilities.
