I'm pretty much doomed if stopped.

This is what's in my vehicle:

If anyone even looks like they're thinking of getting near the car with me in it, 'barking like the dickens' doesn't even begin to cover his reaction.

He's securely buckled in with a heavy duty dog seat belt so he's utterly no threat unless I unbuckle the belt but I can easily imagine some pig trying to boost his testosterone levels by shooting him through the window.

He's my support dog so I have the conundrum; take him with me and risk having him murdered or leave him home and sacrifice the service/support he's been trained to provide?

I should not even have to remotely consider these things *just* to have my dog with me.

America has gone mad.

If, God forbid, the above scenario ever happens, the dog and I will be slaughtered together along some road, somewhere.

No one will vindicate his death but perhaps they'll vindicate mine.

Nice looking dog. I am sure you feel very secure with him near you.

Instead of the BS “war on women” theme pushed by the media, they should investigate the real “war on dogs” the police have been waging the past 10 years.

You should place signs on your vehicle’s windows:

“Caution Service Dog - Stay Back 10 Feet”

“...America has gone mad....”

No...not America....not the whole country.

Just some Useful Idiots, their handlers, and their trigger happy flunkies.

I pray you never have to go through that scenario.

Word is getting out; I pray enough people will stand against this to stop this before it gets worse.
