The plane was delayed and there weren't any seats available.

Don't you know strip clubs are no place for free pussy. :shake:

How do you know they aren't paid pets? I've flown several times with a small dog that doesn't make a sound. Airlines charge 125-150 one way and it counts as a carry-on.

As a social worker for people with developmental disabilities I have had some stories to tell. Medicaid won’t pay for them so people who already have stretched resources are pulling together what they can in hopes that is the answer. More often than not it isn’t and further compounds the issues. I’ve even seen serious cases of regression that wiped out years of solid improvement over long periods of time in months because they went that route.

“My dogs working don’t pet him”

**** off douche, if you bring a dog into a store expect children to want to pet him... you loser ****

How the hell does a dog help with you being a nervous flyer? Is the dog going to fly the plane if there's an emergency? Is the dog going to deploy a parachute from that fake vest and bring you safely back down to earth? Are you supposed to take comfort in the fact that your dog's going to die too, because you were to crazy to fly without it? What the hell

I know a guy that could even open his front door and look outside a little over a year ago. With the help of a real service dog, he stood on stage in May in front of a group of about 400 and helped kick off a concert. Some people DO need them - this particular person suffered serious emotional trauma in Afghanistan.

Again it shouldn’t be any of our business why they have a handicap decal or service animal. Planes already made it harder for service animals to ride with the passenger. Personally I’d rather a dog be next to me in a restaurant or plane than some crying infant. Never understood why parents can’t drive instead of fly with babies.

It is our business because of the imposition that it imposes on others. Again, when that imposition is fueled by actual need our society has been especially accommodating. And, again, wrongfully imposing is an antisocial and ultimately destructive act.

Do the dogs on the planes or the casinos bother you? I mean do they make your trip more uncomfortable or are you just pissed at people taking advantage of the rules?

This.

If you're going to take a "service animal" in public legitimate or not I'm cool with it, I love animals. But it better be well-behaved and friendly and when someone wants to pet it don't be a **** about it.

I want to get a vest that says "service human", and go into a store with a dog. When they ask me about it, I'll just say, "Talk to the dog".

Man I dont know about that one. I mean you should ask permission as they know the disposition of the animal. You wouldn't allow complete strangers Joe Biden your kids out of the blue.

Wow. My daughter has had a medical alert dog (service dog) for six years. She has type one diabetes and her dog detects rise and fall in blood sugars and ‘alerts’ our daughter to the change. There is no doubt in my mind her life has been saved more than once because of her service dog. Her dog had very extensive obedience training and behaves better in public than most grade school aged children. I witness kids’ beaviors worth complaining about versus our dog. And she has a sign on her vest that says ‘please do not pet’. It is a distraction, and can be costly to her ability to detect the blood sugar changes.

It is unfortunate that people ‘fake’ service dogs in public places and take advantage of the rights we have for ours. Businesses have the right to ask us for our certification papers and what ‘jobs’ the service dog can carry out. They can do this without asking what disability our daughter has. I actually have been in Walmart when I wish they would ask us these things and ask the others the same thing we saw with their ‘service dog’.
