Big Dog- that would be a therapy dog... service dogs help the blind, people with ms... ect (they help with many disabilities) Therapy dogs, visit hospitals, nursing homes ect to visit with the people there, and bring a smile to their face....
Tucks mom- I am in no way judging the validility of anyone having a service dog for their disabilities... I am how ever being judgemental of those who have a service dog just so they can take their dogs into all places, where most dogs can't go, when the owners are not disabled. That is what my .02 was about.... service dogs do a great service to those that need them, but those that get their dog a "service dog" status so they can take them wherever they want to is just plain wrong.
I would never judge a disabled person, 'service dogs" are for them, not for those who just want to bring their dogs where ever they want to, and use the title to be able to do it legally... (but totally unethical) |
