BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Many people depend on service animals to lead a safer and more independent life, but what one local woman didn't expect was to be turned away from worshiping.
Mari Ramos is blind and uses her companion and service dog, Betty.
Betty's guiding abilities aren't something Mari says she uses for fun, but to navigate life. The Americans with Disabilities Act protects Mari and Betty to ensure they can go places together and Mari can access life just like anyone else.
However, when Mari attended Church on Sunday, leaders there exercised their right not to comply with ADA rules.

Now all Bryan churches are suspect. Having attended services in Bryan where service dogs in training are welcome I really don't understand the issue. A properly trained service dog does not react to this type of environment.
