I love dogs. I love looking at them. I love playing with them. Dogs are the best.
But don’t fucking bring your dog…
People are scared of dogs. People are allergic to dogs.
I know you love your dog, I probably love your dog too but I don’t think I should bring my dog anywhere indoors and/or crowded and neither should you.
Obviously!!!
If your dog is a service dog, I am not talking about you and your dog. You just make me sad because I can’t play with your dog :( even tho they are such a good boy/girl…
You can ask people with service dogs if it’s ok to pet and most times they are fine with that, the issue is with people running up and petting the dog without asking. Service dogs are very well behaved and usually love a good head pat
No I have known a lot of people with service dogs, not emotional support dogs. You ask for permission because some dogs must not be interrupted during their work, if you ask and they say it’s fine then it’s fine. The thing is that you have to be prepared for them to say no and be able to accept that
No. The difference is in level of training. Some service dogs need to remain undistracted. Other service dogs are alerting on things they notice no matter how distracted they are. This is why you ask.

Then it’s likely not a service dog, but an emotional support animal. There is a MASSIVE difference, and people treat them like they are the same.
Eta: so I may not be entirely right. In my experience, I was always told if they’re dressed for service they shouldn’t be touched by anyone else.
