Did anyone consider the possibility that the highly intelligent service dog was making a political statement about the manner in which WalMart treats its employees and how its corporate policy has put thousands of small businesses out of business?

Just saying.

Actually, you're half-right. Some companies (Hasbro, in this case) started producing cheaper quality versions of some products specifically so they would be picked up and sold by Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, they now ONLY make the low-quality version for sale, so if you want the better version of the product, you have to dig one up on eBay and pay through the nose for it.

Why should ANYBODY ELSE BUT YOU have to dispose of the dog shit?

And you keep mentioning how smart the dog is. Are you trying to be funny?

Anyway, this dog showed up in my yard the other day and now that I read your story I am just wondering:

(as seen in Walmart)

Is this your dog?

Opportunities to legitimately post pictures of a dog taking a shit don't come along very often, do they? :Q Hmmmm?

What kind of sick fuck makes a hobby out of photographing dogs taking a shit?

You're in a dog shit thread for fucksake. What kind of people do you expect to find in here? And for the record, I am not the one that was taking pictures of dog shit at walmart.

:laugh:

edit: oh if only you're username were incremented by one...

lol

So let me get this straight... You're giving Walmart shit because a customer took a picture of your shit and a Walmart employee didn't want to take your shit.

Do I have this right?

I'm given pause because the OP won't disclose the qualifying disability for a "service dog".

I'm also concerned that they felt the need for his daughter to have a "service dog" in Wal Mart (busy distracting place for any animal), despite the OP being with his daughter.


(note to self-I need a service monkey)

Why does he need to disclose the disability to need a service dog? It's none of your business.

Why can't you have a service dog in a retail location? Are blind people that use guide dogs going to leave their dogs outside as they walk blindly around a store? :roll: I'm not saying the daughter has such a severe disability, but you have to realize, if you need a service dog in public, it means you'll also need it as you go through a store. It's not like your disability vanishes when you walk through the automatic doors.

But it's Walmart.

Um, he posted about it in a public forum, all it takes for a dog to become a "service dog" is a harness/vest and someone to say it's a service animal. Text

Does a "service dog" give CPR, render first aid, administer drugs, summon help? Honestly, all a service dog will do in a setting like Wal Mart is complicate rendering aid to someone that needs it.

I see a hundreds of severely disabled folk get along quite well without a service animal, and am constantly amazed at the lengths people will go to to keep a companion animal with them. Stretching the limits of the definition of service animals does the owners of true service animals a significant disservice.

For instance, if my child required a service animal, I wouldn't take the animal into freaking Wal Mart.

I still want a service monkey (and I'm taking him to Target)

Ignorance ftl. Please stop.

First, a dog needs to be trained and certified to be a service animal. Second, there are various types of service dogs that would require the dog to be with the child, even in a Walmart.

What if the service dog warned an individual that a seizure was upcoming? You'd leave the dog in the car, go into Walmart and instead of being warned, provide your daughter medication beforehand or make her lie down, you'd allow your daughter to fall and split her head open against an aisle display?

Yeah, that, the 1998 study showed that a dog can give 45 seconds warning before a seizure in less than 1/3 of the cases studied. You have 45 seconds to start an IV and administer an IV anticonvulsant, go!

<--rescues patients from seizures routinely and can make the average internist hang their head in shame in about 15 seconds...

And you're assuming she has a seizure disorder.

And you're the ass assuming that any dog can be a service dog. A warning is better than no warning, correct? Being able to lie your daughter down, administer medication, protect her from harm, etc or wait til after it has started?

Do I need to list the other types of service animals too? I was making a single example but I guess that went right over your head.

Yep, I want a list of functions services animals can perform in Wal Mart.

Once again, you assuming I'm against service animals, that's not the case.

The OP is refusing to identify his child's disability (and she may likely have a disability I think is appropriate for a service animal), the breed of dog, what function the service animal would serve in Wal Mart, etc...

He's also bitching, and apparently feels the rest of the world is supposed to care for his daughter's service animal. A responsible pet owner wouldn't bitch, much less someone who relies on a servoce animal in order to maintain his child's health.

ie: Why wouldn't he have some plastic bags in his pocket for just such an occasion?

It's a dog

Dogs poop

Dog in public

Dog might poop

Maybe I should carry cleaning/disposal supplies in my pocket... slaps forehead.

Or perhaps I'll just post about it on ATOT... Cuz, you-know, my kid's diabled and all and I'm entitled to let my dog shit at Wal Mart, accept absolutely no responsibility for my kid's dog.

Profit. :thumbsdown:
