I do believe the abuse of falsly using a dog as a "Special" service K9, has reached the point of the handicapped parking permit! During this past winter here in central Florida, I observed far more "Special Service" dogs ( wearing in some cases what appeared to be home sown) signage.
I have no idea how this is regulated (if any) but, and I'm no expert, the dogs I saw appeared to be family / yard dogs!
Looks to be the new rage of making a sign / or ordering online a sign and attempting to take lil' snoopy into theaters, restaurants, malls, etc.
If it makes you feel any better... My wife ordered a "Service Dog" pack for our NON barking 9 lb MinPin online for $20. It is a "homegrown" sign and badge. The best part is it came from Tampa!
LOL
Am I reading this right? Did your wife order a service dog kit for a non-service dog? If so, that's pretty disgusting. It takes about 3 years to properly train a service dog. These dogs are carefully selected for the best traits. The recipients are folks that truly need a service dog so they can function at a basic level of independence. Our friends, who train these dogs, share letters from these folks showing how grateful they are. Anyone who just buys a service dog vest so they can carry around little foo foo is subhuman.
Yes you read it right! Anyone can do it... if you've got 20 bucks and a computer. The point is that there are more fake "Service Dogs" than real ones. It is horrible and I don't agree with it one bit. The DW got it to prove a point. That anyone can get them. Answer a few questions and presto you have a SD. It has never been used nor will be as we do not have a "Service Dog"! Google "Service Dog Credentials" and enjoy the reading.
Hmmmm. Let me get this straight. Your original post states your wife bought the credentials for her foo foo dog. Then your next post states she bought it, with the intention of never using it, just to prove the point that she can. Very odd.
