I agree with you and I feel again I need to remind everyone again that there are such things as nonvisable disabilities. As I stated eariler in this thread, I have a nonvisual disability. I am training moose to be my servce dog but if she and I walked into say walmart I would be subjected to questions until I inform them she is used as a service dog.
This was my first post on this thread
"Just my little two cents....service dogs are not just seeing eye dogs. and I'm sure you all know that but just wanted to say it. I am in the process of moose becoming a service dog for me, but my problem is not a seen disablity and I have been warned by other service dog owners to be ready to justify. Most people only think seeing eye dogs and that's it no other type. We are having issues in north florida from businesses saying no to service dogs that are not seeing eye dogs, so I always like to make it known that there is a broad spectrum of service animals. "
