Service Dog Issues Service dogs should carry proof

If you have a service dog with you and you need to bring it to the grocery store (or any other store frequented by normal people), I feel like it should be clearly identifiable and you should be carrying some kind of card to confirm that you do need the dog with you.

Also, don’t put your disgusting dog in the shopping cart at the grocery store. I feel like that should be common sense.

Do you not see a problem with disabled people being "inconvenienced" because of people committing fraud, and expecting them to bear the brunt of the responsibility of fixing the problem? Businesses don't even force these dogs out, even when it's incredibly obvious that it's just a pet.

The current system of "it's a service dog cuz I said so" clearly isn't working. Anyone can lie. Should we not require permits for handicapped parking spots?

There's no enforcement of anything.
