[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The guy is dead for chrissakes. You people are petty and cold.[/quote]

This is a hot-button issue because most folk want to know the difference between service dogs and emotional support animals because the rules for piblic transportation are very specific. It also involves the WMATA. Everybody agrees it is an accident. What is being debated here is the dog’s presence on the metro.[/quote]

No it’s not being debated it’s a series of stream of consciousness rants against pets and “they way things are these days” without any supporting facts. Nobody can definitively say that this dog was not a legit support dog or just a pet so any “debate” is just nonsense opinions. Have some respect for the dead and wait for actual facts before using this tragedy as a chance to talk sht about dog owners that you don’t like.[/quote]

Supporting facts:

- there is no indication the victim's pet dog was trained to help him with specific medical tasks (as service animals are required to perform)
- it was a pitbull, which, come on
- the owner was not handling his animal like people do with service animals. Service animals are kept right besides their owner for medical reasons. This dog was on a long leash, improperly connected to its owner. Real service animals are virtually never out of arms reach from their owner.
