I was hoping someone had posted this so I wouldn't have to look for it myself
LOL, this was literally the first thing I thought of when I saw this post.
A woman once came to my place of work with a dog wearing an obviously fake service dog vest and patch. I know this for two reasons. One, the dog was completely out of control and yipping and scampering around all over the place and jumping on everybody, which is generally not service dog behavior. And two, once she learned the owner of our company had a dog she immediately launched into her sales pitch pushing him to buy her fake service dog patches, which she flat out admitted are for getting your dog into places it otherwise wouldn't be allowed. I think this might have also had some kind of pyramid scheme aspect.
"Did you know??? Businesses are not allowed to discriminate against you or your dog if it says it's a service animal! It's Federal law!!!"
I threw her out. This made her very incensed.
I told her in no uncertain terms that the only thing she's accomplishing is training people -- not dogs -- that they can ignore legitimate service animals because they might be dipshit Karens like herself are going around with fake service dogs causing problems everywhere they go. I am positive she lacked the empathy or self-awareness to understand the harm that this could cause to someone with a real service dog who was in need of actual help.
But she's still banned. Too bad, not sad.
I hope the owner had your back 💯 for what you did. People always trying to side-step rules and/or boundaries because they think they’re stupid or don’t apply to them are exactly what’s wrong with the world today.
As Chief Executive Asshole around here, it is indeed one of my jobs to throw people out of the building when necessary. And also to tell self-important clients "no" when it's appropriate.
Its so easy to be a good person.
I just find their phone and use it to call for an ambulance for them. And I get a free phone. Easiest exchange ever.
Make sure you remove the ID finger before the ambulance arrives.
I won't be making that mistake again.
I just like dogs. If one walked up to me and clearly wanted me to follow it I probably would.
I could have been abducted so easily as a kid if pedos in my area had known that one simple trick haha
"Come with me, tiny human."
Oh, are we having an adventure?
"Uhm... Yes. Kind of."
Cool!!!
Heck, I even followed the neighbours cat when he came and approached me clearly upset about something, on my way to the shop.
To be fair there was a slight drizzle, and he needed someone to ring their doorbell so he could go inside.
Follow, don’t pet. Got it. Can I pet after?
If the owner is dead then you get to pet
What if I'm also there. And a court concludes I maaay have had some small part in the owner's death? Am I still allowed to pet it then (after it gets x-rayed coming into the prison)?
Is still a good dog, so yes. Pet
And a court concludes I maaay have had some small part in the owner’s death?
I mean, this is gonna happen long after the petting is over. Go nuts.
Just imagine a service dog with a lil sigh that says, "Help! I need an adult!"
Like, me too, bud. Me too.
Had no idea this was a thing, and I knew what a service dog was. Glad I learned something new today, thank you for sharing!
They should mention this on TV/Cable/other like they used to do in the old days when they used to broadcast PSAs.

It’s a shame they don’t put as much effort into educating the public on important things like this.
Yeah ... instead of important even life saving information, we're fed a steady stream of absolute nonsense and even information that is the opposite of a PSA.
That would require people to care.
I follow any dog that approaches me without an obvious owner. They are usually escaped/lost.
I reply to any commenter that posts twice. They are usually escaped/lost
I do this too, I usually end up lost.
In America we are just supposed to attach a note to the dog that says "thoughts and prayers"
Plus a bill for medical services provided by acknowledging the dog
well my first instinct would be to pet the dog, hope the dog has more sense than me and can refuse the free pets
Good psa. I didn’t know this as well
I've known this fact in the past, but I'm not sure I'd remember it in the moment.
