US employees everywhere:
Would you like to
- be named in a Federal law suit
- place your employer in an expensive, and embarrassing position?
Just follow this untrained, unthinking, doofus' lead.
#ServiceAnimals are fine.
Also I learned that you can have #horses and #pigs as #ServiceAnimals. One picture showed a dressed up horse with shoes and I'm curious if this is a thing for owners of such animals?
Search for "horse service animal" and you'll find a horse in a plane completely dressed up, which I find odd. Is this for better visibility, or personal preference?
Businesses that unlawfully prohibit customers with #serviceAnimals need to be named and shamed, because they clearly believe they don't have to abide by the law, and there won't be any consequences for this #discrimination. We should bring the consequences to their front door. If you're one of these businesses, understand that the law is clear, and you have no right to prevent these animals from entering your premises. First comes public shame, next come the lawsuits.

@juliewebgirl Oh fine.
Seriously everyone, Do No Approach a Service Animal! And for fuck's sake don't do it without speaking to it's handler. Really.
Chihuahua to Temple Dog...no matter how adoring those eyes, if you are not friends with that dog's Human, you
and that dog are Not friends.
Other fun facts:
1. If a Great Dane growls at you? Huh.
2. Don't make them smother you with Dane Lipps, and slobber. Bad way to go.

Just as with our national health care provider crisis, we need to pay attention to this looming threat to the health of 75 million pets by 2030: https://www.veterinarypracticenews.com/75-million-pets-may-lose-access-to-care-by-2030/ Disabled and elderly people are limited to transportation within city limits, and so have no opportunity to even try to save their pets, #EmotionalSupportAnimals, and #ServiceAnimals. This is affecting many already.

A fine example of teamwork making the dream work as it were. Nothing feels better than a day of working with, and working my pup, making discoveries, and decisions together, and simply trusting in our bond. Whether we have things to do that see us out for an hour, or 12, it’s super gratifying. To return home with a happy dog, a job well done, and massive happy tail wags for having done-so. The times when nothing goes right, when we’re both off etc are simply teachable moments for both of us. Today, I had to attend an appointment at a building we haven’t been to since June. Larry almost ran to show me that he remembered where the locations were within it. I know this is old hat for these pups, but the magic of seeing him light up with that knowledge, wanting to work, wanting to show off, and nailing it like a rockstar never, ever gets old. #GuideDogPost #BondingWithYourPup #serviceAnimals #ServiceDogs
@sizlingh And absolutely NEVER pet a service animal without asking. It's like 10x as bad as touching a pet (which is bad). These animals are working!
But if you know somebody who trains service animals (I used to know someone), please ask and if they say OK (they probably will) do it. Service animals in training need to learn to deal with strangers. But you absolutely need to ask first. No exceptions.
American Council of the Blind: ACB and its affiliate @GDUInc are conducting a survey to collect information from guide dog users who’ve been denied rides by rideshare drivers due to the presence of their guide dog. Access the survey at:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Rideshare-Denial
To take the survey by phone, call (202) 467-5081.
One thing I have learned from having a guide dog is how many human characteristics all dogs really have! They have personalities, and just like humans, they are all different. They have likes and dislikes, they have feelings like happy, sad, mad, confused, etc. They have the ability to learn and apply what they have learned when necessary, take the next left, find the steps and door, go around but you determine the best and safest way. And just like humans, some are smarter than others, some are more patient. But one thing they will always be better at than humans, is commitment and loyalty, no matter what, for better or worse, they will always remain by your side. If there is not already, I think there should be a Service Animal Day on the calendar to recognize their devotion to the great service that they supply to so many people around the world! #GuideDogs #ServiceAnimals #ServiceAnimalDay
