| people with 'service dogs' note.... When I got up this morning I couldn't log onto YT so mooched around other forums and read this story sorry if you have already heard it A guy wants to take his dog into a restaurant so puts on dark glasses and "taps" his way in. The waiter says "Hey you can't bring that dog in here" and the guy replies that he is a service dog or seeing eye dog. The waiter says "You expect me to believe that a yorkie is your seeing eye dog?" The guy says "WHAT.....they gave me a YORKIE" I didn't repeat it word for word [and it was a different small breed] as couldn't remember exactly so hope you got the idea!! I was panicking like mad when I couldn't access YT so hope I can again! |

| I don't think that Yorkies should be discriminated against for being service dogs, but I also don't think that people should abuse the privilege of having service dogs. I think its disgusting when people pretend that their dog can provide some kind of service, when they in fact cannot. Or when a person is not, in fact, depressed and they say they are and need their dog. I guess what I'm saying is, lying about your conditions or the abilities of your dog is wrong in my mind.

| I thought it was funny. I didn't think it was anything against yorkies because in the UK guide dogs for the blind use only Labradors, Golden retrievers and Alsations. Yorkies would be used for service dogs as in hearing dogs for the deaf but not for guiding the blind. I didn't mean to offend sorry |

| No way. No offense taken! I guess I didn't get the joke because a lot of people use Yorkies as fake service dogs just so they can sneak them in places. Like, it doesnt' sound so absurd to me for someone to pretend they're blind just so they can take them to a restaurant.
