[nagdu] I encountered a fake service dog today.

[Deanna Lewis]

This reminds me of something that happened to me last week. My apartment building was having plumbing problems, so the water was turned off for several hours. I had to go to the laundromat. As we got out of my Mom's car, this little Chihuahua type dog was in the car next to us. He was barking like crazy and trying to get out of the window. My Mom said there was a person in the car too, and they didn't try to correct the dog. My dog just ignored him... Then, about 15-20 minutes later this woman comes up to me asking me about service dog training. She then goes on to say that her service dog is a barker, and then we realized that the dog she was talking about was the one in the car. We told her to try basic obedience training. My question is this, if it really was a service dog (like she claimed) then why was it left in the car? Although, I am glad that she didn't bring him inside since he would have been a big nuisance.

   I was in the grocery store today and this elderly couple had a poodle type dog in their grocery cart. The dog spotted Neechee and went nuts,Barking and growling at Neechee. It almost jumped out of the cart. It had a red vest on but no patches on it. It did not say service dog on the vest either. I was so proud of Neechee as she just guided me past the unruly dog,and ignored it.The woman kept yelling at the man to jerk it's leash to shut it up.As I past them I said ,loud enough for them to here,that is no service dog! Service dogs don't act like that! They said nothing.Last week I saw a man bringing a small puppy in to the grocery store, My friend Dave, said the puppy looked like it was too young to have had any of it's shots yet.No collar or leash on it. Frys Grocery refuse to do any thing about these situations. I have talked to them many time,still
they refuse to do anything.   GRUMBLE,GRUMBLE, GRUMBLE!!!    Mardi and
Shaman,retired and Neechee.
