I think part of the problem is there are many who are taking advantage so they can take their fake service animal everywhere with them.

Anyone can buy a service dog vest on Amazon and there are stores on eBay and such selling fake certificates and licensees .

With one of these they can bring their fur baby everywhere with them.

And yes not all real service animals can be identified easily I have a friend with one that alerts her if she is going to have a seizure. I wish I could tall how it does that. She has run into people questioning her bringing it into places before too,

I’m not going to confront someone even if I feel they are not real but there are those that do. Probably the same people who make places with deed restrictions something I would never consider buying into.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com Service dogs are trained professionals. They behave better than most humans!

@georgetakei@universeodon.com Most dogs are vastly nicer to be around than most people, if there’s a dog in a store, I’m fine with that if it’s behaving itself and is well socialised.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com I would have straight white person lost it, this Karen needs to check herself. A service dog is pretty easy to tell, they are calm, focused on their owners and sedate even in stressful situations… exactly like this extremely good boy.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com “The TikToker was very polite and answered the woman’s questions, assuring her that the god was clean.” I will accept god as a noun for dog. 🙂
