Service animals that I KNOW are true service animals have extensive training. They will not walk away from the owner at a square when the owners are up dancing and having the dog dance in between them. There is a huge difference between a true service dog and a dog with a service vest on (that was bought online). The owners had to grab the dog a few times from just walking away!! Yes, a fake service dog really hits a nerve with me. It's not right for true service dogs. Just another person who thinks they are more important than anyone else and they use the vest to game the system. AND, the dog was not on a leash the entire time. If it was, it wouldn't have been able to start to walk away. That's when the owners finally put a leash on it. I am a huge dog lover but I'm always someone who plays by the rules!
