The rule about asking to pet the therapy dog goes to service dogs too! Because service dogs CANT be distracted as 1 it’s illegal and 2 it’s extremely dangerous for their handler (yes 1 handler not millions of people). If you hear NO don’t argue or threaten to steal or kill the dog. It’s NOT your choice to make. The handler has a legal right to say NO.

We definitely dont deserve dogs.

Animal behaviorist often say taking a dog into a place like a school gives them anxiety. They say to never allow dogs to be around children. Dogs are given acepromazine to calm them down in situations like this. They need to be on drugs to be “normal”
