[QUOTE=Buckeyephan;1137644]I was at Walgreen's this afternoon when a man walked in with a small dog. The dog had a red leash with "Service Animal" written on it in big white letters. It also had on a vest with the same announcement. As he walked up and down the aisles, he chatted with people who petted the dog. So, what legitimate service was this animal providing?[/QUOTE]

Why didn't you ask the man? The service it was providing was getting you upset about it - "OMG, there is a person with a "service" dog, I'm going to start another thread about it". What is the big freaking deal with "SOME" people against people and their dogs? Huh? Believe me, I'd rather see a person come into a business with their dog rather than some of the skanky people that come in; the pets are usually a lot cleaner. Everytime, EVERYTIME I've been in a business and a person comes in with a dog (and in 62 years, it's been many times), the dogs never have cried incessantly, ran all over the place, thrown tantrums, thrown food, in other words, they have behaved better than humans.
