You aren’t talking about service dogs. You are talking about “emotional support animals”. Different things. Service dogs have a specific job they are trained to do- could be sensing a seizure before it happens, helping a blind person navigate, or a lot of other tasks. Emotional support animals don’t have a specific task they are trained to perform. They are pets people have for which they have convinced a doctor or therapist that they need in order to be able to handle life. Service dogs are protected by ADA, emotional support animals are not.

Yep, I get why some people might have a higher quality of life with dogs that serve this purpose.

Leaving out the doctor part, this describes every other pet owner. Most people own pets for emotional support.
It always seems redundant to me to refer to only some pets as emotional support animals.
Pets just fill an emotional void that some people have.
