               Tampa, Florida (September 17, 2014): The National
Association of Guide dog Users Inc., a division of the National Federation
of the Blind and the nation's leading service animal advocacy organization,
announced today that it has release the NAGDU Guide & Service Dog Advocacy &
Information app. This new IOS app provides comprehensive information about
the rights and responsibilities of service animal users under state and
federal law.



"Every law in the United States concerning service animals can now be in
your pocket," says Marion Gwizdala, NAGDU's president and a guide dog user
himself. "There is no other single source for this type of information."



The NAGDU app provides the entire text of the implementing regulations of
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) concerning service animals, along
with the relevant laws of each state. It also offers specific guidance for
those industries in which service animal users face the most challenges,
such as restaurants, taxicabs, hotels, and health care facilities. In
addition, those who face discrimination because of their service dog can use
the app to call a special advocate trained to resolve such issues. The app
is provided for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users  free of charge as a
public service by the National Association of guide dog Users. You can find
