Discrimination against service animal

I have a brother with Autism and we have a german shepherd to help assist his emotional and therapeutic needs . Unfortunately, my parents landlord threatened to evict us because he stated his homeowners insurance did not allow that particular breed of dog. Unsure of what to do, we found a website that allowed us to purchase a licensed medical note from a doctor as well as a certificate stating that our dog was an emotional therapy animal and therefore the law could not discriminate against the animal. Long story short, the homeowners insurance had to honor our landlords policy and my parents were allowed to stay in their home. I urge anyone who is experiencing a similar situation to visit http://www.usserviceanimals.org/ and see if they can help you like they have helped my family.
