When you can buy “service animal” vests off of eBay, and everybody with a dog starts using them to take PETS where they don’t belong, people needing genuine service dogs suffer. People can be such assholes. Dogs, typically not so much.

Ditto.

I posted nearly the same thing.

I notice that most of these people with ‘service’ animals are females with attitudes..............

Yep. I’m totally blind in my right eye and wear an eye patch. My service dog walks on my right side to keep me from bumping into things since I have no side vision on my right. She is trained and allows me to have a fairly normal life.

Unfortunately, the idiots that buy service animal vests for their pets have poisoned the well for legitimate service animals.

A series of dog bite incidents, which Delta Airlines accrued since 2014 with dogs labeled as service animals, shaped the current situation.
