“A service dog isn’t a dog anymore: sure, it has dog tendencies, but they’re a mobility aid, or someone’s eyes, or they are there to detect if somoene’s glucose levels fluctuate.”

Would I piss off EVERYONE if I said that this reminds me of that anti-abortion politician, the one who said your body isn’t your own when it’s a vessel for your child?

Wait, did someone actually say that about service dogs? They're dogs with jobs, not non-dogs.

[feotakahari]

Yes. Yes they did.

Also it's plain not true? None of the service dog owners I've known have treated their dogs like that. They don't, can't work all the time! They need their rest and playtime and all that! They're not THINGS. Does this person not realize that service animals retire and often stay with their human, even though they no longer work?
