Service Dog: Service Dogs Vs. Companion Dogs

Decent Essays
No there are not certain types of dogs for service dogs versus companion dogs. Let me ask you a question, how does an employee know if the animal is a service dog or a companion dog? My understanding is, due to the current laws, an individual does not have to show you anything, just state it is there service dog. With this being said, if I came into Walmart with my dog, so I didn't have to leave it in a hot car, and you approached me with the question, "is this a service dog?", I could answer yes and be on my way. I hope to have more definitive answers when I am doing my research.

    In this article, written by David Leonhardt, the issue of pet owners pretending to own service animals when flying on airplanes, is discussed. According to this article it all started when, “a 1986 law forbidding discrimination against handicapped air travelers made sure that physically disabled people could travel with service animals”. However, many non-disabled pet owners took advantage of this law, and began to travel with their untrained dogs, disguised as service animals. This is partly because many airlines do not require proof of medical need, in order for a passenger to fly with a service animal. Therefore, by claiming their family pets as service animals, “people could bring an animal on board without putting it in a carry-on bag…

    Pet Ethical Dilemmas

    In this paper, I want to focus on how society talks about pets and the ethical concerns around owning different animal beings. Through my experience of owning a turtle, I have realized he is not what anyone would consider a “pet” because society doesn’t regard him as a normal “pet”. I will argue the social construct of “pets” is harmful because it results in humans treating animal beings unequally. Childhood stories, fables and television portray turtles as being slow and cautious, which gave me an idea of what to expect from owning him. When put in new environments, he is very cautious and easily startled.…
