Yes. Dogs that 'work' or are trained to help humans are called service animals.
No.Police dogs are working dogs but they are not service animals. Service animals are animals that perform tasks/work to help mitigate the disability of their handler.
If you have contacted Animal Control but they have not responded, you can call the police and perhaps they can contact Animal Control for you, or tell the police that Animal Control hasn't come out to take care of the dog.
A dalmatian dog.
with plenty of hard training and education in animal behaviour you can inquire with the local police department as to what the requirements are.
if the dog bites a person or an animal, if its barking is causing a major disturbance, etc.
The dog suffers terribly and probably dies and you then get arrested by the police for cruelty to an animal.
there are laws that protect the animal but the police has to investigate.
take it to the pound or animal shelter

Turn it over a family member, or take it to the animal shelter.
Only if it's a trained and certified service animal.
There are two questions a business owner may ask. 1. is that a service animal? and 2. what specific task does that service animal provide for your disabilities? If you think the animal is not a service animal, by means of growling, barking, urinating, and or pooping on the floor, or the handler not maintaining control of the animal, then you have two choices available to you. You may request the service animal team to leave the store and/or you may call the police to assist in the removal of the unruly dog/or mini horse as pursuant to ADA laws that solely permit these two animals to be service animals. The law does not require any certification and/or vests or markings asserting the dog or mini horse is a service animal. The only way to verify is the two questions permitted by law. The only person that can ask detailed questions regarding disability is the investigating police officer. If you try to ask more than the two questions this may result in legal issues.. if you have any questions I know of a facility Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs (GAMSD) a 501(c)(3) non-profit that is working with local and Florida State legislators to pass a service animal bill to assist the disabled in here Florida. the Federal ADA laws are constant. Thanks.
