[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was a fake service dog, I bet.  I know our Target doesn't allow dogs.  I was making a return when a woman came in to ask.  She and her husband were coming back from the dog park on a hot day a few weeks ago and wanted to know if they could bring the dog in instead of her husband waiting outside with him.  Manager up front said no unless it was a service animal.

These people bringing their "service dogs" into stores are going to cause problems for those with legitimate service dogs.

They think they're being so clever, but 99% of the time you can tell a fake service dog from a real one.  For example, I was in Wegmans and there was a couple with their "service dog."  The dog was not even mildly obedient.  He didn't want to walk at their side and was not leading either person.  Most of the time they were pulling and redirecting him because he wanted to sniff everything and say hello to everyone.  Real service animals do not interact with others while on duty.      [/quote]

We've got a guy who brings his emotional support dog to the gym with him.  It's a tiny little dog on a ridiculously long leash and the guy doesn't pay attention to where the dog is, so dog's wandering around so the leash is a tripping hazard, including on the staircase.  I know it isn't a "real" service animal because when he is paying attention to the little dog, it's to encourage people to pet her.  It's obnoxious.[/quote]

These owners have to go the fake service dog route because of stupid and discriminatory restrictions on dog owners.

Produce comes from the ground. Milk comes from a cow’s udder. Wheat grows in a manure-fertilizer field.

Yet your precious sensitivities are violated because parents take their dogs into Wegmans or Whole Foods!? All these gym “athletes” can’ t keep their balance because of a silly leash a few inches off the ground? First, get in shape. Second, browbeat the gym management about why they require leashes in the first place!!![/quote]

Discriminatory? Dog owners aren’t a protected class.[/quote]
