OK, fair enough.
Considering that about 99% of all the so-called "support animals" out there are nothing more than house pets with an official-looking vest that the owner bought on Amazon, I've become cynical towards even the 1% that have a legitimate medical use (which, as far as I can tell, are dogs for the vision and hearing impaired and now for those prone to seizures).
Could you please show us all your sources for the 99% vs 1% stat?
My only experience with service dogs is with wounded veterans, and their dogs whom I’ve met have been extraordinary and well-trained. But I agree, it would be a pain in the butt to have every snowflake out there with a service dog in a public conveyance.
My daughter had 2 roommates that had `service animals. One was totally fake.
The other was for her roommate that had autism that was legit. The dog and her roommate went through 3 months of training. I don’t know what the do was trained to do to help her roommate. I do know it was very well trained as well as her roommate. My daughter could not play with that dog. The dog was always by her roommates side. It never barked or got unruly.
The other roommate with the fake service animal was the total opposite. Terrible owner with an untrained dog.
