Obviously this store should have followed the law and allowed the service animal in. Having said that, we have expanded the concept of service animals to a ridiculous level. We've gone from seeing eye dogs to therapy snakes. Around here people bring pets into grocery stores and restaurants. It's gross.

“service dogs” aren’t what they used to be. Like everything else people are gaming the system. My father’s friend had her house cat declared a service animal so she could fly with it. Yeah, on the first flight, it went insane. Yep. If you knew her she would admit the farce, but if a waitress or someone in a restaurant said anything she would go nuts and scream about her “needs.”

She’s dead now. The lady, that is. God knows where that cat went.

I saw a chiuaua (sp) in walmart last week sitting in the child seat of a cart.

It had an orange vest on that read.... You guessed it: service dog. It was shaking.

Nothing against this man. Just alerting my peeps.

This.

Kinda like handicapped placards. When was the last time you saw someone parking in a handicapped spot that actually used a wheelchair?
