This is disgusting and way out of control. We should probably be glad the irresponsible owner didn’t let her dog birth 8 puppies on the plane. Selfish witch.

Service dogs need to be service dogs and not simply the family pet. I travel a lot and, while I like dogs, I am really sick and tired of all of these people lying and parading their dogs around as service dogs to let them ride for free, wander through our grocery isles, and restaurants. LEAVE YOUR DOGS AT HOME!!!

A service dog should be trained and certified. I'm not sure how this would be done--locally or nationally, but there needs to be some standard, some minimum requirement.

Maybe a federal form at the airport, the owner certifying under penalty of perjury that their dog is a trained and real service dog, then prosecuting a few people as examples for violating this?

When I saw this on the news, I wondered if this was another case of service dogs that weren’t.

Yep like a lot of things people find ways to abuse the orginal intent.
Here’s a link to a couple other articles posted sometime back about service dogs.

This fad is indeed going to end badly. And the worst part of it all is that it will harm and do damage to legitimately disabled people who actually need service dogs.

"There’s no way a service dog could be pregnant,"

Guess he said the same thing about women aboard US Navy ships......

The only problem with service dogs are you weak-knee sissy Freepers who constantly complain about dogs like whinny liberal scum. Dogs are man’s best friend and there is nothing you wimps can do to change it.

That selfish cruel woman should be charged with animal abuse and she should pay for all the services that were called.

This is one area that the government has to step in. These people are extremely irresponsible.

“But a lot of our resources went into that. We had firefighters, we had police officers and a maintenance team that needed to clean up”

Simple solution...send the owner a bill

If you are selling the puppies, the mother is not a service dog. She is an income producer.
