Default Service Dogs

There have been threads about people seeing a person with a dog at a restaurant.

I met a guy at LSL who had a Boston terrier. The dog had a service dog vest it was wearing. The guy said with that vest, he could take the dog into restaurants, movies, airplanes, or any other place.

I asked how he got the certification and he smiled and said he bought it off the Internet and just had to self-certify he needed it and that the dog met the requirements of a service dog.

He said if challenged by a restaurant or anyplace, he had cards that had been sold in the certification kit that basically threatened a suit under the ADA and everyone gave in.

Takes all kinds, I guess.
