She got mad?
I guess the dog wasn’t working.
I’m sick of dogs in restaurants and bars. Pretty disgusting actually. I’d have no problem with an actual service dog but not people who bring any dog or dogs with them.
I also blame the businesses for allowing it.
Yes I like dogs..big dogs not wanna be ankle biters that are nothing more than cats that bark.
Yep.
And they are currently above all law there in the UK right now.
Sorry blind dude, you’re out of luck.
Agree. Add to that, give an inch, and there are people who will try to take it a mile.
🤣 yep!
Now, I do have a close friend with an actual ‘certified’ service dog - she adopted kids from Russia and one is prone to autistic meltdowns. Great kid, dropped during the birth so permanent issues. The dog noses into him and calms him down immediately. It is beautiful to see.
A relative was living in Germany some years ago who I visited. The Germans didn’t care if you brought a dog into a restaurant if it was well behaved. I doubt it was all restaurants, but it doesn’t seem to me there a health code denying it..
Exactly. These people who must have their little doggy everywhere with them are the reason. Spend $50 on a Service dog vest and call it good. Now you too have a service dog.
At the airport the other day I saw a lady with a huge dog. I’d be beyond upset if I was forced to share an already cramped row with her stupid dog.
Buy a dog, you also buy the responsibility to do something with it when you’re not home. Bringing the little cur with you everywhere isn;t the option.

Depending upon the situation it may well be within their right
The human race covers most all types be good or bad.
This is in the UK. The UK has been conquered by Muslims. Muslims hate dogs. This one isn’t surprising.
I read the article-this is a seeing-eye-dog, a guide dog for the blind. I presume he has a harness on the dog. When I see a blind person with a dog, they always have an unmistakeable harness, not a leash or a rope..
I agree with you 100%. People with Seeing-Eye Dogs should be given the highest latitude and leeway in all circumstances. If you are allergic or simply don’t like dogs, suck it up.
And I have nothing but contempt for people who take their “support animals” with them everywhere they go.
I don’t give a crap how much they try to justify it. It is a sign of someone who is mentally ill and needs help at best, an an ass-whipping at worst, not an animal they can take anywhere.
And the people who buy the “support animal” harness at a pet store so they can take it in hospitals, restaurants, or travel conveyances, those people are simply disgusting. And I think they are the reason we see issues of denial to people who have a valid need. Those people are
If I am ever an observer and I see service being denied to someone with a real disability, I am 100% going to step in for them and advocate for them.
Besides the misuse of the “emotional support animal”, the other thing you’ve got working in the UK is creeping Islamism. Islamics see dogs as unclean and don’t want them around. They’re starting to ban them from parks, etc.
There was a couple at Chastain Amphitheater in Atlanta that were bringing in their Shetland Pony service animal. This was probably 15 or 20 years ago.
I know a man I admire greatly, a retired Marine in his Seventies who was severely injured in combat, and if there is one man I know who deserves a handicap placard on his vehicle so he would have less distance to walk, it would be him.
But to my consternation, and total admiration for his bottomless stubbornness to not be seen as a “victim” of some sort, he will not get (or use) a placard. He even seems to park further away than he otherwise might, as if he is somehow doing battle with the ailment on a personal level and refuses to concede to this faceless, unseen adversary, but an adversary nonetheless.
I am certain his wife rolls her eyes at him for this refusal to be pigeonholed, but somewhere inside me, I understand it fully, and fully admire him for even that. He refuses to surrender.
By being totally dependent on a dog, the person is in fact rendered unfit to get around in Public.
The fact he is unfit does not trump the rights of others
The problem is, of course, that US businesses prohibiting not-for-real service animals face fines and lawsuits.
Among many other things they can be sued for. Like not baking a cake for a gay “wedding”.
Then those same degenerates take their mutts into the grocery and put those filthy animals in the grocery cart.
Then, when they're gone, Susie Homemaker comes in and puts her family's food in the same carts, buys her groceries, sacks are in her cart, takes the food home, puts the sacks on the counter where she prepares the food........
If you are carrying the dog, it’s not a service dog.
The worst are people who bring “Service dogs” to rentals that don’t allow pets. How do you reconcile your ESA/SA with people who have allergies?
“Britain is highly Islamized now.”
That’s a valid point—Islam generally has cultural reservations about dogs. When I lived in England in the 2000s, having a dog with you was never an issue. Even service dogs and non-service dogs were welcomed at our local pubs. England was very dog-friendly overall.
This overly dramatic English “c” was refused entry into a restaurant purportedly because of her Palestinian flag pin:

I will suggest that by walking the distance, the man insures he remains able to walk the distance
It was Clint who functions in his 90’s that taught us.....Don’t let the old man in
