Emotional Support Dogs

Anonymous
I volunteered at an organization who trained dogs as Autism Assistance Dogs, Hearing Ear Dogs, Mobility Assistance Dogs, Seizure Assistance Dogs, Diabetic Alert Dogs, FASD Assistance Dogs, Facilitated Guide Dogs, Food Allergen Detection and Alert Dogs, and Multipurpose Assistance Dogs. These dogs were amazing and many of these conditions while not visible on the outside are still very dangerous. So please when you see these dogs be kind, you have no idea why they are by their owner's side.


Totally different from an "emotional support dog," which is not certified and has no training and can be obtained by ANYONE.


This is true, but you can't tell the difference from just looking at the person or the dog. Be kind.


Exactly.

That article made my day. Thankyou for posting!


+1 I love our dog but can appreciate the info in this article! Just reading about "Truffles" made me laugh out loud in nervous horror for the poor people on that flight!
