The real shame of that is that it makes people think that nothing is legit....there truly are reasons for service animals. They are so necessary for many people. |
ITA it's offensive and makes people skeptical about any dog they see in the store.
Like I posted up-thread, it's a loophole in the system, that is being abused.
The intention of the 'don't ask' laws surrounding service dogs was to protect people who are disabled from being peppered with questions about them, and their dog. Good intentions, as always, bad people to exploit them. JMO
