I have never witnessed anyone who claimed their dog was a service animal when it wasn't. How would you find that out? Did you ask them? I would never be so bold and none of my friends or family members have ever admitted to doing such a thing.
The fact that dogs reduce stress is not, in and of itself, enough for them to qualify as service animals. However, if someone has a stress related disability, however, like high blood pressure or a chroic heart condition, for example, and the dog can be trained to do something to reduce the stress then it would qualify.
