@Cakers3   I did NOT misread your post.  You clearly posted that dogs who walk beside a wheelchair bound person is not a service dog.

 

That is why I posted a picture with the explanation that you were incorrect.

 

You came back at me and said that is what you said, but you did not.

 

I let it go so as to not start a conformation, but you are still at it.

 

You clearly were wrong.  Just admit it, or let it go.

 

Here is a screen shot to refresh your memory.

@qvcaddition,

I loved reading your story of you and your wonderful dog!

And how wonderful is it that she is 17 years old! That must be because you give her so much love and you were meant to go through life together.Heart

@Nyc  You can leave your dog home alone but not your child.   Big difference.   No reason to have to bring your pet shopping unless it is a legit service dog.

Just today I was in Costco having a slice of pizza. Here was a mother of 3 young kids who were running around, screaming, playing in boxes on the floor, kicking boxes and getting in people's way all the while mommy sat there on her phone oblivious to it all. On the other side of the benches was a gentleman with his service dog calmly eating a hot dog while his dog patiently sat there watching people. Guess who I chose to sit next to?

Hi @Cakers3   My comment was a straight comment, not sarcastic, not intended to offend.  Just because you have experience with disabled people doesn't mean you know all the services service dogs can and do provide.  Only the receivers really know the services they are receiving, and they are not always able to convey that.
