Get yourself a mail order sheriff's badge. (look on the internet).

With your newly acquired authority, certify your dog as a police dog.

Bring his passport with you when traveling.

Interesting how primitive as a race we humans still are.
Requiring set piece playacting with a lower species to adjust our emotional state.

I just rescued a few packs of hotdogs from the store and I'm in heaven!
Sick!

Dogs can definitely be better companions than people. I think it is because of their unconditional style of love.

I took a solo backpack trip over Thanksgiving, just Jack and I.


And, yes, I felt less insecure with Jack by my side. Except when I had to save him from drowning when he punched through the ice in the middle of the creek!

one cat's litter box is another dog's buffet table. Ugh!

Teach the dog to sniff bombs. They can sit on my lap while flying! :)

Cut to the chase.

What the OP is saying is that he want's a pass on lying for his convenience.

The things that is ultimately tragic about this sort of thing (fakes), is that it creates a bias against real working dogs, and their owners.

Again, I sincerely apologize to any of you who had my dog (pictured above) piss all over your climbing gear. It just means he thinks you're cool . . .

hey there say, ken m...

i go by this thought too:
The things that is ultimately tragic about this sort of thing (fakes), is that it creates a bias against real working dogs, and their owners.

there are very serious needs for service dogs, and folks that 'fake it' add up, and make a lot of extra 'bad reception' for those that need them...

blind,
deaf, hard hearing,
and seizures,
are some of the well-known reasons, of course...


oops, edit:
the emotional support, issues are newer:

but my friend's service-dog
(she had her dog go through a program, for a certificate)
DID this kind of work, in private type hospitals, etc, nursing homes, and senior centers... (IT WAS not for her emotional support)...

her dog could travel by bus, train, plain, etc, to GET to these
folks that used her dog for some SERIOUS emotional pains,
that these folks were getting over...

or, for neglected elders, that could not have a dog for themselves...

i have not learned much about who, or how, individuals,
though, USE the dog for themselves, in public settings, yet...
