So What Qualifies As A Service Dog?

[Yarddog]

For I know two autistic people and they never needed a service animal and one of them is severely autistic. This service animal thing is just looking for an excuse to take your pet with you on outings. I'm not saying that's what's happening here but in my experience autistic people don't need service animals.

"He basically stated, 'Well, what was the disability for the dog?'" dad John Wynn said. "So I'm like, okay, well, that's none of your business."

I trained my dog to carry a quart of oil with him at all times whenever visiting the grocery store or pharmacy.
No way could anyone question his service dog status! he also responds according when ordered to "find the oil plug"
rolling over on his back without hesitation. Many a store manager has simply had to walk away

My dog gets lonely when he wakes up in the middle of the night and I am not there with him. He cries and barks at my door until I get up and comfort him, then he goes back to sleep. He is a 4-year-old Border Collie and is smarter than most 4-year-old humans.

He misses me because I spent about 5 months in the hospital in 2023.

I bet you dont roll him around the mall in a baby stroller

I got two chubby wiener dogs. They get tired. You have to carry them if you don't have a stroller.

Service chimpanzees and monkeys?

What could possibly go wrong?

If a dog is more helpful to someone with anxiety than a pill, go with the dog.

Completely agree, but if a person wants special privileges for their anxiety dog it needs to be trained so the handler can control the dog in public places.

They do tend to pack it on.

Beagles also.

Nothing makes their day like getting something from my plate.

Hey, hey, hey - that chicken of mine that shares my bed and house provides the utmost important service, of a fresh breakfast egg.

Umm we got a 26 here guilty of chicken conception.

Everybody needs emotional support. Some more than others. If an animal fills a void in your life because you have problems connecting with people for whatever reason then so be it. I know of one old guy who really has nobody. Just his dog. I think if something were to happen to that dog he would just die.

Yeah but there's a fine line between actually serving a purpose for somebody with medical needs/disabilities and just wanting to take your pet with you places.

There’s something wrong with people who don’t like dogs.

I agree and nobody ever said that. Or at least in this thread.

Lol you know you're actually making me like you for once. You're pulling a Slade3200 on me as that's how we become online friends. As I realized that even though we disagree most of the time he's not actually a bad guy and I don't think either are you.

It's an acknowledgement that I saw his crap and have no intention to discuss it.
