[nagdu] fake service anemals.

[Bridget Walker]

Well said Julie, I do not like calling the dogs fake. As you said it's the person misrepresenting a disability. If I were to pass legislation in New York which I hope occurs, I would like it to identify the individual's false identification of having a disability that limits a major life activity and the individuals belief that an animal trained or untrained would mitigate a nonexistent disability. 
Just my opinion

If the person isn't disabled, then they have no right to be accompanied  in public by any dog, trained or not.  Dogs don't fake it, people do. I think Florida's new law is an excellent starting place.
