re: What the heck is up with people needing service dogs for anxiety?

The anxiety for people that bring their 'service pets' everywhere, would be better defined as they are worried about not being near their dog.

Eliminate the dog from the equation and that would eliminate the 'anxiety'

I get there are tens of thousands that truly need these animals, but a lot of these people are just the obsessive pet owner types. Like the ones that buy that video camera to say Hi to their dog from work and shite. That's some compulsive shite right there.
