Seizure–alert Dogs, Hypoglycemia-alert Dogs, Therapy Dogs, Emotional Support Dogs.. what will they come up with next?

Are emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals considered service animals under the ADA?

So I figured it’s time to share one of my own stories currently in progress…who knows maybe it will help someone, maybe someone will read it and help me see how I could have done something better, or maybe this will just be good therapy for me and no one else will read it :)First, very quick background about myself: I work full time as an engineer, most of my REI experiences are lived out in collaboration with my brother Brian and our ventures in Columbus together. 

I went through therapy, and hard pills until surgery was placed on the table.

I also have some medical issues so I do my own landscaping - it's a form of physical therapy for me and my tenants like the new flowers that sporadically show up.  

My idea of a 4-year-pamper-fest is how Colorado State has an on-site massage therapy clinic where students who are stressed can get massages, and how students at Yale needed therapy dogs and cancelled classes to cope with election disappointment.  

Couples therapy might be in order because if you feel you have no one to talk to there definitely is disconnect in your relationship.

I too enjoy dialogue about the human condition, let's keep the conversation going and have some talk therapy so I don't have to get out my prescription pad.

From the ADA website:A service animal is any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability.
