Ya know, to me anyone taking advantage of disabled people in any way , form or fashion has a problem and maybe they are the ones that need these therapy dogs. Rather than playing like they have to have one, its like parking in a handicap place because you dont want to walk. I'm sure most handicapped people wish they were able to walk from the other side of the parking lot to the store rather than be disabled, I know I rather be able to walk on my on , be it a heart, lung, leg, foot or any part of my body. well, they have hefty fines for parking in handicap parking places so maybe if they had a hefty fine for people caught claiming their puppy is a service or therapy dog that isnt, it would stop some of this going on just to get a DOG of all things into a store or some place for no reason other than to show it off. Its cheating, people. Get a grip. It hurts the people who really have to have this type of dog. If enough people do this then some of them that need these dogs might get ran out of stores they really NEED to be in. I could never stoop to the level of pretending to be handicapped just so a Dog could go some place. not that handicapped people are low but to pretend to be handicapped is about as low as you can get. Too many people today are self centered and think of nobody but themselves and what THEY want even if it means breaking rules. Really teaching the younger people good stuff like , hey.... its ok.. do what ya want. rules are just made to be broken. If you really think thats a good thing, then you need a therapy dog.
