You made no mention that having Buddah with you reduces the symptoms of your mental condition, only that the condition may be used as an avenue to get him service dog training. You said you don't NEED to take Buddah everywhere with you and are fine without him. So what "necessary service" is he performing for you then? But what irks me most is that you've admitted to wanting to "kink" the system and involving your doctor in order to do so - that's not something you want to proudly announce, and I'm wording it as lightly as I can. Please re-think.  |
you're right. I didnt mention that because I am being honest. I don't need Buddah with me, but I do think it would improve his life dramatically if he could come with me all the time. I am a very busy person and am constantly running around. I like to take him with me so he isnt lonely. He is a very good boy when out in public and I don't see the problem with him coming with me.
I appreciate your opinion however I did not ask anyone in this thread to judge me or force an opinion on me. So I would appreciate if you did not. Also I do not think I am downplaying the role other service dogs provide. I would go thru all the training that is needed. I respect the service the dogs can provide and the discipline they protray.
