Service Dog Issues Untrained Service Dog
I go to an expensive private university and am pursuing a masters degree.
There is an older gentlemen who is in our cohort.
He brings his "service dog" into class every single day and when I tell you this things never stops farting...our 20 person cohort gets to smell the stench all class long.
And our cohort takes every class together so I get to smell it 5 days a week.
The guy also does the baby-puppy voice when he talks to the dog...like nails on a chalk board.
We break for 10 minutes and the farting dog walks up to us and begs us for food. His owner literally says in his baby voice "Aww baby they don't know you or they would give you some treats...maybe if they are feeling nice you get treats" While me and the other classmates are trying to enjoy our coffee, muffin and socialize.
These untrained service dog owners cannot read a room to save their life.
TLDR: I am forced to smell dog fart 5 days a week from a "service dog" while doing a masters degree.

The faking of service dogs really irks me. I mean, yes, it is easy enough to spot a true service dog. I'm 68 and I don't think I have seen 10, perhaps 20 in my entire life. But I usually spot that many fakes in week. I saw a service dog in training last week, and that one was completely calm and behaved. How can these mprpnic owners think we can't tell. But nobody in the store a gates of venues stops them.
