dogs keep their fur and paws clean. if they come back from a walk plastered in mud, they will clean it all off (and leave it on the carpet)
people get more contagious diseases and bacteria from other humans than dogs.
Really? How do they do that?
Why do people bathe them, then?
Of course they do but that has nothing to do with being clean.

While I agree with a lot of the above, what the Op has done by getting those labels for his dog harness and making it appear as if it is an assistance dog is akin to having a dodgy blue badge for the car.
It is your pet (and a cute one it is), it is not an "assistance dog" - they are completely different.
An assistance dog is generally trained to a higher standard than a pet dog (https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/law/) and is required because someone has a disability, not because they want a sausage roll.
What next, are you going to put a white harness on it and carry a white stick and pretend to be blind too?
As much as I love my dogs and wold like to be able to take them into many shops that I currently cannot - I would not stoop as low as this just to get a sausage roll.
Greggs staff will come to the door if you stand there and wave them over.

I had the same. Got fed up with it and divorced her.
Not in the slightest. Having a dodgy blue badge allows someone to take a parking place they are not entitled to which in turn prevents a genuine disabled person from parking. Who was I harming? As for assistance, it assisted me in buying a pint of milk in Sainsbury and some sausage rolls in Greggs.

I think it funny we need a bit of cheeky humour in our life's. But no more...to kill it.... Its a cheeky story for the grandkids

It may not have appeared to 'assist' you on this occasion but there will be times when people will make allowances for someone with an assistance dog. These allowances may be quite obvious at times or quite subtle at others. It is still a sign that, incorrectly or fraudulently, you have a condition that some would class as a disability.
It makes you no better than abled bodied people using blue badge parking facilities or people using child/parent parking when they don't have eligible children with them.
What I find strange about this thread is that GD has a large number of posters who decry the facilities offered to someone who has a genuine disability, as well as those who have a mental or hidden disability, yet will support this thread.
Burnerman hit it spot on!

Assistance dogs are there to assist people with disabilities, and the disability laws ensure disabled people aren't discriminated against, hence their dogs are allowed in certain places that able bodied peoples dogs aren't, but then, does that discriminate against able bodied people ?
I have to disagree with you there. My dog loves a pint at the end of the day - I think she might have a drink problem. I wonder if they can make special allowances for alcoholic dogs.....I really don't think that Fido has to come in for a coffee or a pint, at the end of the day.

And all those people that have a disabled badge with a hidden disability would have been put into the same bracket as you have put me into before they got their badge. You don’t know me so I’ll thank you to hold off with your assessment of my needs for assistance.
