By Roald Dahl
By the time she was three, Matilda had taught herself to read by studying newspapers and magazines that lay around the house. At the age of four, she could read fast and well and she naturally began hankering after books. The only book in the whole of this enlightened household was something called Easy Cooking belonging to her mother, and when she had read this from cover to cover and had learnt all the recipes by heart, she decided she wanted something more interesting. "Daddy," she said, "do you think you could buy me a book?" "A book,” he said. "Whatd' you want a flaming book for?" "To read, Daddy." "What's wrong with the telly, for heaven's sake? We've got a lovely telly with a twelve-inch screen and now you come asking for a book! You're getting spoiled, my girl!"

Paraphrase It: "Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA."
Service animals are also like pets for the people they help. It is often comforting for people with disabilities to have their pets help them with their daily activities.
Service animals are there to work, not to be pets. The job they do must be helpful to the person's disability. If the dog is providing emotional support and comfort they would not be counted as a service dog according to the ADA.
There is a strong connection between a person's disability and the work their service dog performs. The job of a service dog goes beyond emotional support - as required by the ADA, these animals have received specific training that relates to the person's disability.
