As a trainer of service dogs for disabled persons that REQUIRE the assistance of a highly trained service dog to allow quality of life, mobility and independence, I hope you understand the additional scrutiny, suspicion and public mistrust caused by folks that make a mockery of the law
I fully agree, there are always going to be those that abuse the law and it only makes it worse for those that obey the law... I'm never one to make accusations or accuse people of not having a disability as that is none of my business, but I'm seeing more and more people that I suspect are abusing the service dog laws...
Now don't get me wrong as the person very well could have a disability that requires a service animal, but when I see a young twenties lady all blinged out with her two blinged out Chihuahua in a plush faux fur padded cart cover at Walmart I have my suspicions... The same suspicions I have when I see a guy (in what looks like beach vacation wear and flip flops) walking around Walmart with two dogs that clearly have zero leash or obedience training dragging him down the isle and pulling him in two separate directions while clearly sniffing for a place to lift a leg or snack a snack, while barking or growling at other customers that get close to them...
