I think most of the intellectuals here understand the point I was trying to make.

As a past owner of a bonafide, trained, > certified < hearing ear dog, I can understand the support that they give a deaf person. That goes without saying. But the deaf, like anyone else need to learn to follow the law.

These deaf folks who insist on taking their MUTTS everywhere they go, I mean, MUTTS, (that have never been trained, probably have had no shots, no health inspection, etc.) are breaking the law.

If you want a dog that you can take anywhere you go, then apply for a bonafide HEARING EAR DOG from one of the organizations that train and place them. Do not pass off your junkyard dogs as hearing ear dogs, it is unsafe, (yes, unsanitary) and illegal.

Don't depend on pity to get what you want. Show a little class and respect.
