CBS, Chicago- Despicable. That’s the word used by advocates for the disabled to describe the newest trend – people disguising their dogs as service dogs to travel, shop, and even go to night clubs...
The evidence appears blatantly on YouTube.
“I took Bubs out for a walk and it started raining and I don’t feel like walking him home so we’re going to get on the bus and I’m going to make him a disabled dog,” said an unidentified man in a video in which he brags about putting a muzzle and fake vest on his dog to ride public transit and later get special treatment at a restaurant. “This service dog scam works pretty good. Take a bow Bubs. Good service dog!”
In recent New York Post story, several candid dog owners bragged of their own fakery. After purchasing vests, patches and certificates online, they talked about taking their dogs grocery shopping, nightclubbing and to the theater.
“He’s been to most movie theaters in the city and more nightclubs than most of my friends,” a 33-year old New Yorker told the newspaper about his Yorkie.
