[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The typical "faking a service dog" type behavior.

You're fooling NO ONE. I'd say most people  have experience in knowing someone with a real service dog so they know how a real service animal will behave.

A dog pulling its way through Target is not a real service animal. A dog begging at a table in a restaurant is not a real service animal. A dog who wags its tail at every person walking down the airplane aisle is not a real service animal.

Working service dogs do not get distracted. They do not beg for food. They do not pull on their leash unless they are attempting to get help.

[/quote] +1   I was in safeway a few months ago. A man and his dog were in line. There was an endcap right next to them; the dog took a step toward the endcap and sniffed the items on the bottom shell.  A real service dog stays very close to the owner, with total attention on the owner. [b]They do not even take one step away, let alone sniff stuff.[/b] [/quote]

That's just not true. Service dogs are not robots. I've worked with blind people who had seeing eye dogs that accompanied them to work and conferences etc. and those dogs do sniff things that smell especially stimulating, like food. They do step more than a step away from their person. They do wag their tails and accept affection when offered. They are not robots.[/quote]
