The card is issued to a person (not the vehicle) for a legitimate reason.<br /><br />I feel the same way towards people that would misuse a service dog vest or misuse a handicap spot...I wouldn't want to spend time with them.<br />madx2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270324635714119391.post-4178207589820589692014-02-17T09:51:22.868-06:002014-02-17T09:51:22.868-06:00I've been having a little giggle imagining try...I've been having a little giggle imagining trying to pass my last dog off as a service dog. At first I was going to say his infamous nose in the crotch would have given him away...but then I realized it would have been fun telling people what he was sniffing for. Still. I'm with Lisa. It's wrong and gives a bad rap to REAL service dogs. I work at several schools with service animals, and they are amazing.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141883867104777688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270324635714119391.post-1993022596393986642014-02-16T15:01:49.143-06:002014-02-16T15:01:49.143-06:00It sounds good in theory, but bothers me in the sa...It sounds good in theory, but bothers me in the same way as people who use handicap stickers for their vehicle when they aren't handicapped, taking up the space meant for someone who needs it. I can't argue with humans who want their dog to travel with them, but I don't think this is the way to do it.Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270324635714119391.post-26354687970134902472014-02-13T23:13:31.182-06:002014-02-13T23:13:31.182-06:00It would be nice if a portion of the profits from ...It would be nice if a portion of the profits from those vests would be donated to benefit a good cause like animal shelters.
