[nagdu] Fake Service Dogs

[Larry D. Keeler]

The park is different and so is the bread.  For instance, I went to visit my 
Dad last Friday on the way to state convention.  Well, my Dad has a cocatiel 
who owns his house.  Holly was on leash and in harness because I knew that 
the bird would be a temptation almost to hard to resist!  She did great 
until the bird buzzed her head!  She lifted her head and prepared to chase! 
I corrected her and that was that.  The day before that, a woman had a 
little fluffy dog that she kept waving in her face.  Holly's face that is 
and Holly was getting excited!  I had to tell the woman to cool it because 
of course Holly was getting distracted!  The woman told me that a service 
dog wasn't supposed to do that and I asked her if she would want me to chain 
her to a chair and wave a steak in front of her face.  Sure, they are 
trained not to do that what wag and slap her paws on the ground wanting to 
play!  What a crime!  The woman had no idea she was doing anything wrong. 
She thaught she was testing Holly and Holly failed.  Actually, I had full 
control of her but her nose and tail were sure activated!
