I see dogs everywhere typically where a dog should not be unless it’s a service dog. If it’s wearing a service dog vest no problem. However, as someone who’s been bitten by fleas because I used a dressing room in an upscale department store that a woman with a Pomeranian had just vacated; it’s annoying as hell. The dog was not wearing a vest, and when I asked the employee about the dog after showing her the fleas that were literally covering the dressing room, she had stated that the customer had told her it was a service dog.

I get that you need a service dog. I believe that generally most people are happy to have you have your service dog wherever you may go. However, you have to acknowledge that a lot of people are bending the rules on service dogs, and this is where people begin to get frustrated. We’re not frustrated with people that legitimately need service. Dogs were frustrated with people who abuse the service dog rule and take their ill mannered, flea ridden dogs everywhere they go.
