To be honest., growing up in Lebanon was kinda chaotic. I experienced order after immigrating to the U.S. Kenya in some instances reminds me of Lebanon which is why I easily adapt.

The problem is, we don't have laws about service animals. It's not a thing in Kenya. Most people won't even understand what it means

@@RichardDebs Yea, just like mental health used be laughed off especially by men but these days there is enough awareness that even a guy would suggest to a fellow guy to go to therapy if they notice their friend is not okay. Mental health treatment in Kenya was normalized by Psychiatrist campaigning and creating awareness through Tv and Radio. If they did the same for Emotional support Animals then it will stop being a foreign concept to the average Kenyan.

Bringing dogs into a restaurant is always a big issue even in the United States. Even if you have a service dog many restaurants still have issues. So don't feel bad. But also, in Kenya and Africa at large many people still see dogs as not pets but protective animals guarding their premises. Very few places let dogs in restaurants around the world.

Maybe contact KISE as they are a government department. They are policy makers for special needs education, advocacy etc. They might be able to assist with research and policy development if they feel there is a need for a new policy for animals. We do not even have seeing- eye dogs in Kenya so this would be a great and new step forward.

I totally understand your position and I respect each country's position. However, that doesn't mean that I will not challenge positions which I think ought to be changed. I'm not suggesting that restaurants allow pets. I however am suggesting that restaurants do allow service animals. I think that a blind person should be allowed to enter a restaurant with a trained service dog which helps them navigate their environment. Cuse is a trained service dog who calms my anxiety when flying. He senses when I'm getting nervous and puts his paws on my chest to help calm me down. I think there is a role for service animals to play in Kenya.
