Solution

The most important factor considered in classifying an animal as an assistance animal is that it's trained to perform tasks to benefit a person with a disability. While emotional and/or physical benefits are important, they are not the primary factor. The type of animal (dog, cat, etc.) and whether it has received a certification are also not the primary factors. The key is that the animal is trained to perform specific tasks that assist a person with a disability.
