Service animals have federally protected rights (I guess the owners do

but that's semantics). As far as non service animals that's likely a

muddy water but one lesson from Katrina was that some folks would

rather die than leave an animal behind. As far as police dogs if one

is killed in the Line of Duty they are given an Officers funeral and

in many states if you harm or kill one it is the same as if you harmed

or killed an Officer. I persoanlly would have no issue with treating

or transporting a Service animal of any type if I had he ability.
