Most people seem to respect the service dog. Many, I've noticed, give us a wide berth when they see his vest. But there are always, every time we go out there's at least two or three, who refuse to respect the vest and insist on petting him.

Don't worry, Ozma, I'm not talking about people at work. I haven't had any issue there. It's when we go out to the stores and what not. When we're walking down the street.

	Don't let your daughter hear that. You know what Dylan's reaction would be. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I think she gets it from both of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will never get why people seem to feel entitled to pet service animals. I see it at my food truck and it just...takes everything I have not to scream at people to leave the animal and their human alone. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	All they see is a dog. A cute dog they want to pet, and damn the consequences. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Which really you'd think adults would know better. I know from the K-9 Units my dad worked with that my yelling could just make the situation worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	igotfirstwatch 2021-03-21 01:41 am UTC (link)
	They don't. Young kids honestly don't know better. Older kids are better about it than the adults. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And all we can really do is hope they keep those smarts about service dogs when they turn into adults. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Statistically, that seems unlikely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	curiousalice 2021-03-23 04:04 am UTC (link)
	Which is a sad fact. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah it is. but people, adults, are generally so self absorbed they don't care about anyone else, or anything that doesn't benefit or at least directly affect them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	curiousalice 2021-03-24 03:44 am UTC (link)
	I've noticed that. If you ever decide to bring him to my food truck, I'll have a bowl of water for him with your meal. And with your permission - a treat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	igotfirstwatch 2021-03-24 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	A treat would be okay. Where is your food truck? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I park it at a different place depending on the day of the week but tomorrow I'm going to be at business name and address. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For a second there I thought I was going to have to remind everyone of the rules at work. Just because he doesn't earn a salary doesn't mean your service dog isn't entitled to the same respect from your coworkers. And if I can resist petting him during meetings, other adults just walking past can resist I'm sure. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	igotfirstwatch 2021-03-18 03:25 am UTC (link)
	No, everyone at work is great. They respect me and the job the dog is doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	boyprincessofoz 2021-03-20 03:02 am UTC (link)
	Glad to hear it. I didn't really think any of them would have a problem with it but...he is really cute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	igotfirstwatch 2021-03-21 01:42 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, he is. I mean, maybe it would be better if I'd gotten an ugly one. But he's perfect for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	boyprincessofoz 2021-03-21 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think there is such a thing as an ugly dog. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	igotfirstwatch 2021-03-23 12:39 am UTC (link)
	I don't either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	boyprincessofoz 2021-03-23 04:14 am UTC (link)
	Besides he's sweet and that will just encourage people to want to pet him regardless of how he looked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	igotfirstwatch 2021-03-24 01:26 am UTC (link)
	And petting him is fine when he's off duty. Or when we're in a relaxed setting. When he doesn't have to be working. I mean, he is a dog. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	boyprincessofoz 2021-03-24 03:52 am UTC (link)
	And the person asks you first like I do. Also I'm buying treats for the office. The humans have snacks. So should he. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks, Ozma. (Reply to this) (Parent)
