I can understand why some need the animals with them (e.g. blind person with seeing eye dog). The dog performs a concrete function that no one can dispute.
But in subjective areas, most would find a doctor that would sign off on it (for the yearly fee of course) and it would be widely abused. The whole idea, other than the fact that we like our pets, is very subjective. |
Do you personally know of any instances of this happening, where a doctor "just signed off on it (for a yearly fee of course)"?
The use of service dogs isn't subjective at all. The ADA is very clear, it's just that people aren't aware of what's in these laws or they disagree with them.
We all know about opinions.
