The Problem With Fake Service Dogs
Real service dogs spend years training to improve their handler's quality of life, and that can all go out the window in an instant in the event of an attack. Even if your dog is not aggressive, an untrained dog barking, sniffing excessively, and even staring can be distracting to a service dog, which can be life threatening for their handler. Personally, my service dog, Jessamine, alerts to a high heart rate which can lead to me fainting. If she misses an alert due to someone's pet distracting her, I can get seriously hurt, or even die. Trust me, falling on your head is no fun.
