Info on service dogs:
You are to NOT to pet a service dog, It's a working animal and is NOT a pet. There is a law being passed about fake service dogs (see photo below). You must ALWAYS ask the handler before you pet a service dog. The dog is around to help its handler with tasks he/she can't do. You should NOT train your own service dog. Instead, you should have a true training place to train him/her. Just getting a cape from amazon or some other online store DOESN'T make your dog a REAL service dog.

FAKE service dogs (below).
How do you tell a FAKE from a REAL service dog?
A FAKE: pulls on the leash and barks and gets out of handler's grip. Emotional Support is a FAKE. See link:
