I did not offer to poke her eyes out thus making her eligible. It was tempting.

My friend is actually an advocate for others with disabilities, but she had a lot of stories of people becoming irate in businesses that she wasn't blind as that's how most people understand service dogs.

Hmmm, or is that just a California law? I have a friend with a service dog and we've eaten at restaurants and gone into shopping malls. She's been talked to, but she's fierce about the law on that one. I love service dogs! Your blind friend does know, I hope, that it’s illegal to kick out a service dog from a place of business?

There def needs to be some kind of protocol. I hate when a place has rules that it doesn't know how to follow. Oh lord have mercy. There def needs to be some kind of protocol.

It's that idea that you have to be blind to use a service dog. It's illegal too, btw. In all the stories I read, the employees assume the dog isn’t a service dog and don’t believe the owner.
