[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it count if the heli-parent won't travel anywhere, ever without the dog?

And/or if [b]they have the dog declared a "service animal"[/b] despite the total lack of any medical need for one?[/quote]

How do they do that?  Is there an organization they have to bribe?  Don't you have to have some sort of a disability to even justify having a service animal?[/quote]

If you want a regulated, certified assistance dog/service animal -- that's one thing.  But you can just buy a "vest" on line and declare your dog a service animal.  Voila!  Do the google.[/quote]

Someone I love dearly but who I think is completely insane when it comes to her dog got her therapist to write a letter essentially saying that said person would not be mentally/emotionally well to have her dog with her and it worked!  It is officially legally a service animal.  She gets to take her dog with her on trains, buses, planes, hotels etc. (not just "pet friendly" venues) as a lap animal. (No, it's not a legitimate condition - the person just really likes having her dog along.) I get that she loves the dog and everything, but good grief - we're expected to be even more conscientious around this thing (and actually talk to it) than we are around other friends' high maintenance (read: allergic to the word "no") toddlers.[/quote]
