However, since one is not allowed to ask for certification papers, noting how they act is useless unless you plan to confront. And even then, you can't do anything if the owner lies. Plus fake papers and vests are all over the internet. The law needs to be strengthened, and it will take us urging our congressmen to do it.

I could never get away with it. We have the neighborhood social butterfly.
You are very lucky to have that particular social butterfly!

My opinion is that there should be a federal law concerning service dogs where they wear a dog tag indicating they truly are a service dog.
And to obtain this type of tag, an owner would have to provide a doctor's form and a form from a veterinarian.
I am not referring to guide dogs.

This situation with the dogs has gotten completely out of hand.
