Absolutely! Highly suspicious---the owner would be the first to admonish someone for trying to pet a true service dog. But until the management of any establishment is willing to challenge these people, you'll see more and more fraud. I always hate to involve government, but perhaps it is time to make a law that a service animal requires a permit that is certified by a veterinarian. And if it is an "emotional support animal", by both a psychiatrist and a vet. I'm willing to bet these sightings would go down 85%
