I was not offended. Sorry if the email came off that way. Tones don't come across well in emails. My disability does not show but I never try to hide it.

Nothing to be offensive about that's for sure. I was asking because I am too.

They don't care if we get ran over, attacked in the dark, leave a store without items we need because we can't reach them, ect. And every time store personele sees an able bodied person with a fake service animal, it makes it that much harder for us to get them to accept ours as legit. Faking a service animal is no different than going around riding in a wheelchair just because you are too lazy to walk. Instead of faking a service animal, try instead to only take your pet places where they are welcomed.....then thank god for giving you the ability to live a normal life.......because some of us are not that blessed...... Marsha ================================ Very well said Marsha and I agree with you 100%. This very issue came up on another list I am on where a member faked her service dog just to take him everywhere with her. That made me so mad and so sad at the same time. That is just wrong and when they get caught it hurts the very people that service dogs are trained to help. It is just like people w/o a handicap parking in the handicap parking zones because they are too lazy to walk.
