[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's kind of crazy that not one PP has mentioned the real victims of all of this: people who actually have disabilities and require a service dog! They face so much discrimination, judgement and general nastiness from people who assume they are one of these frauds--particularly people with hidden disabilities (diabetes, seizure disorders, PTSD etc).

So if you think the annoyance you're feeling is intense, imagine depending on a service dog for your literal survival and having people doubting you at every turn. It really is shockingly selfish and abhorrent behavior by the fakers. [/quote]

But even use of dogs for the conditions you mention is dubious.  You don't need a dog to monitor your blood sugar (and their effectiveness at doing so is contested), get a glucose monitor (research shows that they alert earlier and more accurately).  Basically, some people like having a dog around and it reduces their anxiety.  But I would hazard a guess that it raises anxiety in just as many people who do not want a dog in their public spaces.

Sounds like you need a service animal for your anxiety. [/quote]
