My parakeet is a seeing-eye dog. Why not?
Ping
They have an inward desire for human companionship. The dog is just a metaphor.
My dogs are terrific. But I don’t take them to stores or restaurants.
Mental illness. These types would be in the nut house in the 50’s and 60’s.
Doggie ping?
Oh my kind of article.
Where do I start with this subject?
I’m sick of everything being an illness and every illness needing a dog.
This stuff is absolutely rife for fraud. Between ADA PC crud and dog-love, it’s an uphill battle fighting this “service dog” stuff so fraud will really slip through.
No kidding, don’t where this guy lives, Florida?, but in my neck of the woods no one would bring their black lab or blue healer into a store or restaurant. This is a new one on me.
I dunno. I read an article written by a veterinarian bragging that she passes her pit bull off as a service dog.
He drives just fine....especially when you consider his head is hanging out the window...
Doris Day owns the Cypress Inn in Carmel, CA. Dogs are allowed in the restaurants, rooms, etc.
I take my dog where it is welcome. At Home Depot a lot of the store help keep milk-bone biscuits in their aprons.

He is in the UK. People there walk more and take their mutts everywhere.
I was in Panera when a lady came in with a huge service dog. It looked like an emotional support dog.
She could have sat in a way that was out of the way. Instead,she parked herself right behind me and dog was wagging it’s tale thumping me in the back.
I moved to the other side of the table and quickly got out of there.
It really hacked me off. If you need that dog and MUST bring it in..then have some consideration for other people who pay for an overpriced sandwich and drink.
All these kind of stories will still never beat the lady who tried to bring her potbellied pig on an airplane in Seattle and it pooped all over the floor at the boarding gate. She claimed it was a service animal.
My mutt is not a service dog, but would have better manners than that.
When did they become all-purpose dogs?
Are people allowed to designate any dog thy like one of these things? I do see that little rat dog thing a lot, being carried everywhere. Of what use they are, I dunno, so where is the "Service"?
If it is just companionship, get them a stuffed teddy bear, they do not piss and crap all over.
NBC. Miami. What horrible hells, some folks are burdened to endure.
My guy takes our dog Tiggle wiggles into Walmart all the time. He usually just zips him up in his hoodie and carries him. The workers just ask if they can pet tig. But we never claim he is a service animal.
