Support MA bill that would make false representation of a service animal illegal.

Service dogs change the lives of all who need them. Please don't allow the "cheaters" to spoil this wonderful service. Those bad guys are selfish pigs.

Anyone who falsely presents their animal as a service animal is degrading & tearing down all of the hard work & training ACTUAL service animals undergo & the incredible life improvements they bring to those who truly need them.

I have been a one-on-one dog trainer for 20 years as well as an evaluator for the AKC Canine Good Citizen program. I have also been a certified evaluator for Therapy Dogs International and Pet Partners. I know what it takes for a dog to pass any of the above mentioned tests, with Pet Partners being the most difficult and expansive of a dog's temperament and training. I have been very dismayed by the misrepresentation of "service dog" and "emotional support dog" when this dog and owner have not been trained nor tested but are allowed to go anywhere.

I wholeheartedly support this bill as a dog owner/lover and some one who gets very indignant at any kind of fraudulent activity. I support dogs PERIOD.

I wholeheartedly support this bill. I believe that those who misrepresent their animals as service dogs are abusing a system that is put in place to allow those with disabilities to fully function in their communities. This is not only a disservice to them, but it is denying our local communities of all the amazing contributions they have to offer.

My son has trained these dogs. A lot of work, love, and time goes into these service animals. What they give back is immeasurable. To compare a service dog to an untrained dog is inconceivable! Please support this bill!

coming from a family who has a service dog, I feel it is unfair that people can just claim there dog is a service dog when it is not

I am passionate about this. The fake service dogs do a diservice to those in need.
