HOW ARE HEARING DOGS IDENTIFIED?
The visible symbol of a Hearing Dog is the orange and yellow leash and collar with the words HEARING DOG on it. New York State issues a special tag to every Guide, Hearing, or Service Dog. CWC also issues each dog a bright orange vest with HEARING DOG on it. The partner of a Hearing Dog will have a photo ID card and on the back of the ID card a copy of the New York State access law. This can be shown to anyone who is not familiar with the Hearing Dog access rights.
