In reply to the discussion: S.A. veteran says service dog was kicked out of store, harassed [View all]Tribalceltic
(1,000 posts)I have known people to cross state lines and assume false names to get treatment for mental illness. There is still a great stigma about admitting mental illness. Faking it so you can take your dog into a store seems pretty far fetched to me.
I agree that some Dr.'s will go along with what you say, but do you have a better system? If Y drug doesn't work, then try z, and let me know. That is the way that it has worked for a long time. Most people want to get relief for whatever disease they have and are honest with their doctor. Who has more knowledge about how they feel?
Your reference that we should let all dogs into stores seems sarcastic and absurd. What are you really trying to say? Are you actually opposed to the use of assistance dogs in general even though they are a proven therapy and treatment tool for many?
