I don't care if you bring your dog to an outdoor fair where pets aren't normally allowed as long as you stay the hell out of my way and don't let your dog interfere with my SD who is working. I don't even care if your dog is at an outdoor patio restaurant, again as long as the dog is well behaved and cared for. And not interfering with mine.
Technically, you wouldn't really have the right to object to a pet being at an outdoor patio restaurant (I mean, you can complain about anything you like, of course...), since most of those typically do allow dogs. At least the ones I've been to did.
My dogs actually have done fine when I've taken them to those, but still, if I were faking a SD, I don't think I'd take them to a restaurant. And I'm going to say that I don't see people doing that. Not going to say nobody does, but any dog I've seen in a restaurant is either an actual SD, or is faking it
really well, since their behavior is impeccable. I don't see a lot of dogs in restaurants, except in the outdoor ones that allow pets. I imagine a lot of people don't bother bringing even legitimate SDs to restaurants because it is a tougher spot for a dog to maintain it's best behavior, and with most disabilities, people can function without the dog for the length of a meal. Especially if with people, which most people do eat out in company.
I see a lot of dogs brought into grocery stores. Some appear to be legitimate SDs. (or good fakes, again) I already mentioned at the beginning of this thread a specific instance in which I saw someone who I felt should
not be in the store with the dog. I also not infrequently see people with small fluffy dogs in their shopping cart, these are almost always Latino families who have kids in there as well. Are they faking a service dog? I don't really know. There was a time when that would have annoyed me, I no longer care, because when I see this, the dog is never causing any trouble. So not my problem.
Other than that, I have to say, I rarely see SDs, real or fake. I do wonder some about all the people on the internet who have service dogs, or dogs they are training as such, because it seems odd so many people who are very into their dogs are disabled, but not really my business.
