Part One
Impressions-
Information:
This website has a lot of helpful information starting with some general facts and list of disabilities to get an emotional support dog recommendation from a medical practitioner. The website includes two important sections titled Living With Your Emotional Support Dog, and Flying With Your Emotional Support Dog. These two sections give very important information as to how those processes would change with an emotional support dog. The site is good for letting people know if they should have an emotional support dog, and how it would change their situation if their dog was registered.
Credibility (based on URL, advertising, links): This website appears to be very credible. Its URL has not only US in the title, but is finished with a .org, both of these things make it appear to be a professional website. There are absolutely no advertisements, which- in my opinion- is a good sign for a website's credibility. It doesn't appear as if it is just trying to bring an audience or make money, it just wants to be informative. There are only a few links on this page, all to pages that are a part of the same website. They have an FAQ page, a contact page, a home page, an information page, and a register page.
1. The site clearly states which association it is giving you information about. The information on the site appears to be extremely appropriate for the purpose of the site.
2. The purpose of the site is to inform people who are considering registering their dog as an emotional support dog. It informs them about whether they are qualified and how it would change things. The information is very factual, it does not feel biased or opinionated in any way.
3. The site has no ads on it. It appears to be funded in other ways, or a part of an organization with a lot of money. The lack of advertising does influence the site, it makes it feel very professional and informative, almost like reading a pamphlet.
4. The site does not claim to provide or describe the results of an academic study.
5. The information on the site can be verified on other websites, however I don't know why you would since that is the official site and you can sign up for the registry on that website.
6. The material is not covered in super depth, but it gives you all the information you need so it does not feel like anything is left out.
7. The material feels incredibly appropriate for print publication, as I said it feels like it could be a pamphlet.

Select/Embed-
Emotional Support Dogs have given people hope and support for many years now. They are not like other support dogs and are not trained for specific tasks or behaviors. According to US Dog Registry "They are meant solely for emotional stability and unconditional love."(Information on Emotional Support Dogs) This means that any dog can be an emotional support dog, as long as their human has the necessary disability. Unlike most support dogs, emotional support dogs are based around their humans qualifications, not their own.

Part Two
Evaluate-
The authors appear to have an education and general background in dogs. I don't see any specific qualifications that would make me think they know a whole lot about this specific topic, but it's pretty straight forward so I believe that they have done their research based on the field they are in.
Compare-
While the site was pretty basic and just told about the qualifications and the changes that happen, the journal spoke more about how it is happening and affecting various things throughout the country. It talks about the different types of assistance dogs, besides just emotional. This journal is more about the registration process. This site also goes into the specifics of what each assistant dog is meant to do.
Record-
The journal has a resource called "The Early Evolution of Domestic Dog" in American Science, by Morey DF.
