Public Service-Dog Announcement

I normally don't post service dog-related things here, but this one is applicable to the general public and is an important thing to disseminate to everyone.
This is from a friend's blog:
Public Service-Dog Announcement
And, yes, I have had all the things she mentioned happen to me and my service dogs as well. Adults are the main problem, too. It's crazy to see how some people act in public...

There is a guy I know at school who is blind and has a service dog and he was telling me all the problems he has with this kind of thing. He was explaining to me how people don't understand that when the dog is working that he isn't a normal dog.
I have come to the realization that people are idiots.

Nice, I've wondered why people do it when they know better...

I wish this could be posted more places where people could see it. Most of the sites I hang out on are ones where people are, y'know, sane. I don't get why people act like that. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, I've seen people do some ridiculous things around my service dogs. Sometimes I wish I had gotten some of it on camera...for the lulz.
A grown man barking at a dog who is ignoring him is quite funny.

I'm posting this link on twitter and urging re-tweets. More people need to be aware of this kind of thing. I don't have, nor do I personally know anyone outside of the internet, with a disability needing service-dog assistance, but as stated above, people are idiots, and they need to be informed.
