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.

Once integrity and honor to tell the truth is gone there is hardly any rule or policy that cannot be beat. Our jails and prisons are full of a lot of the people willing to do this but even so if a person has no honor or respect there's not much that can be done.
A lot of people are aware of these scams already and it is a real disservice to those that truly do have a service dog for assistance.
