I have heard way too many first hand accounts, and seen it in my own life. That being said, I do believe that it needs to be done within the bounds of the law. This is where having your needs and emotional stability to be evaluated by a professional; and by professional I do not mean someone with a talk show on TV. <br /><a href="http://www.psychiatricreferral.com/Psychiatric-Treatment-Psychiatric-Therapy-New-York-NY.html" rel="nofollow"> http://www.psychiatricreferral.com/Psychiatric-Treatment-Psychiatric-Therapy-New-York-NY.html</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134537066799442259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-73016385622305715692014-10-15T23:07:02.439-04:002014-10-15T23:07:02.439-04:00Emotional support animals?

Lay off the lattes. Take up yoga. I have a mental illness, and I don't want your untrained, ill behaved dog sniffing my leg at the airport (this happened). The woman repeatedly told the dog to sit, and it never followed directions. What about my emotional well being? Can I get a letter from my therapist that says ill behaved animals increase my anxiety, and I need to not be subjected to them?<br /><br />Service dogs are different. The person cannot function without them. They are well trained and don't bother anyone. <br /><br />If a person cannot function without having an emotional support animal around, then maybe they need to look at a medication change. <br /><br />P-K<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-18752200726141948772014-10-15T20:44:10.707-04:002014-10-15T20:44:10.707-04:00There are websites which offer letters from physic...There are websites which offer letters from physicians and all paperwork to allow animals to be considered Emotional Support for airline travel.

Register a duck and take him/her with you, and then write about your experience on Shrink Rap! ;) I would but it just wouldn't fly!<br /><br />...<br /><br />I had a Pekingese that I took pretty much everywhere, except in stores and restaurants. She liked to go riding, shotgun in her comfy bed with AC vents pointed towards her. I probably could have gotten away with buying one of them vests but I'm one of those law-abiding citizens.<br /><br />Here on Oahu, this has become an issue. People were buying false service dog IDs online for as little as $20 and using that to bypass the so-called system. The issue is the ADA law, which says that establishments cannot require owners to show an animal license for entry.<br /><br />The State created a bill that would require service dogs to wear a badge/vest approved by a national organization that identifies the animal as a service dog but even that would not be 100% full-proof.<br /><br />I'm all for ESA animals but I think we need to draw the line somewhere. Thanks for sharing this story. I wish someone would do what Marx did here and experiment with other animals but it would probably cause a public uproar. People here are pretty mellow but hit the wrong person and all "you-know-what breaks" loose!HIGurlnoreply@blogger.com
