to a petition calling for a national law to make owners of dogs who attack service animals legally liable for their animal's actions.

http://www.change.org/petitions/guide-dog-users-inc-working-towards-the-enactment-of-a-national-service-animal-protection-law?share_id=lumeyPBBGW&utm_campaign=mailto_link&utm_medium=email&utm_source=share_petition

People who need service animals depend on them to be able to work and for many activities of daily living. Service animals require a lot of expensive training (my sister's dog was trained for two years, and then for a further two months with my sister.) When a service animal is attacked, it is a serious impairment of the service animal's owner to be able to work and carry out many activities of daily living.
