I see why I have just never been one to enjoy eating at restaurants, along with no hand washing, peeing in pickle barrels and now dog hair & service rats, NO THANK YOU! I own many dogs and one is with me at all times, if I were disabled I'd eat at home like I do now.
Yes and science does claim people can act like animals.
Can and will!
If you cannot afford a dog, one will be provided for you.
People with self-diagnosed so-called stress issues were confined to a facility? Uhhh, no. The mess started when service animals were allowed for emotional support and without a requirement for a permit (I can't ask to see one) or diagnosis.
The little rat dogs I see yipping their way through Home Depot, restaurants, Target, airports, wherever aren't service dogs, bank on it. They're not well behaved enough to be...they don't act trained at all.
1) How do you know people are self-diagnosed?
2) You are assuming all dogs out in public are being described as service dogs. I think there are more entitled AHs who insist on taking their dogs everywhere than there are people trying to pass of the family pooch as a service dog.

It has been known for a long time that a significant percentage of the population suffers from Dog Deficiency Syndrome.
There is but one cure.
Some say the cure is worse than the disease, while others say not.
What's bad are the dog parks where people take their dogs so they can play and run with other dogs they don't know. Recently here someone had their chihuahua running and playing in the big dog section and right in front of the chihuahua's owner and the kids, a gerrman shepherd grabbed it and killed it,

If the dogs weren't yapping, their owners would be.
It is more appropriate to have your dog do your yapping for you.
I once ran a business where I was obliged to hire the most gross, animalistic unruly people that the town could dredge up.
They didn't respect me because I owned the business - but they did respect my dog, because she was so, very much like them.
