Hate people like you, not everyone has a visible disability. Some old lady tried to tell me off for having my dog in the store and I just got what I wanted and left. Most people are expecting all service dogs to have a cringey vest and be complete robots, which just isn’t true in most cases.

In my post I said there's nothing wrong with service dogs. A dog in a stroller is not a service dog, and the pit bull on a leash was clearly not a service dog either.

There is no such thing as a clear service dog though. A dog in a stroller could very much be a service dog as much as a pitbull. A lot of people in Maine train their own service dogs, which is legal. And because of that most of the service dogs in this state don’t act how you would expect a service dog to act.

That's ridiculous, a dog in a stroller isn't providing a service to anyone. It's just someone looking to show off their dog and skirt around rules to get attention.

The dog could be trained to alert the owner of low blood sugar or of an upcoming seizure. There are many other types of disabled people than just the ones that can’t see. Maybe the owner is deaf and has the dog to alert them of loud noise, which it can definitely do in a stroller. Yes, in most instances dogs in strollers wouldn’t be service dogs, but it is a real possibility.

Fair enough, but there are better ways to monitor those things that don't involve dogs.

Well some people hate electronics as much as you hate dogs.
