I am *not* trying to be that person, but will someone please explain to me why you would need 3 small dogs as Service Dog(s)? I presume (and this is truly speculation on my part, I wasn't there, didn't talk to the woman, so...) that the lap dog is being presented as an emotional support animal companion.
But what about the other two? Does each one "alert" for a different condition? How is this allowable? What is a reasonable limit on support animals? Who cares for three animals if/when she is participating in an attraction? What if one of those dogs next to her feet jumps off and runs away, because it is startled, or because... dog reasons, or what if - worst case scenario - there is an accident, and one of the "floor dogs" (and/or the lap dog) is injured because it wasn't properly restrained and/or on a leash as is expected with a Service Dog?
So. Many. Questions.
And what if someone shows up with *four* dogs? Because after THREE DOGS is FOUR, and after FOUR is FIVE - and if we continue *that* progression, it's not going to be long before we have people showing up with a half dozen dogs, none of them on leashes, and demanding that they all be let in because they are service animals.
:::smh:::
I understand the need for Service Dogs, and I can (mostly) get on board with emotional support animals. (I'm sorry, but I have a hard time anyone presents an emotional support animal that is riding in a pink baby stroller that cost more than my first car) But I believe that a limit needs to be firmly set - what that limit is, where it's upper boundary should be - is not my decision to make. But I feel like the number 2 might be a great place to land.
