Should I be skeptical when I see service dogs with apparently healthy people?

I’m talking about full blown service dog vest, etc being held on a leash by a woman who looks like an athlete. My OT mind thinks this is just an attention seeking move. Or is this legit?

You can buy the vest online for less than $50, some even give you a certificate and everything.

I had enough of the service dog shenanigans in TSA and pre check. Went ahead and purchased my own private jet and have no complaints since.

Or they can be put on medication if their mental health is so bad they need to bring a dog with them everywhere.

Unless you are a business owner, why do you give a shite wasting time thinking about how to categorize other people's service dogs in the first place?

There are dogs that pick up things off the ground and open doors and other things for people who can’t bend down or bend over but look normal when standing up straight

There’s a big differ nice between service dog and support dog. Service dogs have to actually pass tests, emotional support dogs just have to pay for a vest

I'd say that makes you a presumptuous a-hole. How do you people find so much energy worry about things that don't affect you?

I want an ESA dig to bite me. The owner will have the option to be sued or stand up in a public forum and admit how they bused the system in a way that is disingenuous to people with real disabilities.
