Sometime soon there is going to be a crackdown on this “fake” service animal scam. There are too many people doing it and having an animal that isn’t trained enough to control itself is going to hurt someone.
I hope so. Not too long ago I saw a really creepy guy at my local Meijers with a little "service" dog (Maybe it should have been classified as a comfort puppy) in his shopping cart.......I thought to myself, WTH??????
But on another occasion at the same Meijers store, I saw a young vet with a prosthetic leg with his service dog, a Doberman, and couldn't help but think what hell he went thru........
Totally off topic but I've read several comments over time about members criticizing the ADA demanding easy access for disabled people. All I have to add is that this past summer, I had just left my gas station after paying my bill and was getting into my car when a young guy pulled up in his Mustang on the other side of my pump.
I watched him as he struggled to pull out a wheelchair from the back seat in order to seat himself and pump his gas. He had no legs............I went over and said hey dude, I'm a vet too, can I give you a hand? He said no thanks, I've got it........I said OK bro and got in my car and left........
I had tears in my eyes as I drove home......
