That sign is great, it should be everywhere.
The last time we were staying at Fort Wilderness, some unleashed little yapper came running up to us. The owner was 15-20 feet behind. She shouts, "it's OK, that's my service dog".

This fruit loop then tries to earnestly explain that the dog is trained to alert here if she is in danger. We just looked at her like she was nuts, and walked on by.
I strongly agree that it's time for businesses and others in charge of the public space to put a hard stop to the, "comfort/anxiety/protection/makes me feel special/ people pay attention to me when my mutt wears a vest" fake service dog scam.You have a right to be the strangest person imaginable, but when your fake service dog is licking produce at the grocery store, or a poorly trained mess sitting next to my table inside a restaurant, we have a problem.
