As I have been on this journey of getting a service dog and talking about this service dog I’m getting,the following video really hits home for me. A lot of people understand not to pet the dog, but then people do anyways. And then there are the people that follow you around and just watch. There are those people who try to distract the dog – and then there are the people who think you are being cruel to the dog because it’s working! An the other people that ask me if I’m going blind, and others that tell me I don’t have a disability.
Please watch this, and DO NOT do or say what this girl is saying! It’s so annoying!!!
Anyway, here is a video someone compiled of stupid people say to service dog handlers.
My name is Darby, and I live in south western Ontario, Canada. I am energetic, love animals, love to lead people, but can have a hard time doing so due to Asperger’s Syndrome, PTSD and General Anxiety Disorder. My goal in life is to help other people in any way I can, and if something is hindering that, I want to work through those issues to be able to help others more efficiently. I love music, animals, recreation and leisure, people and I generally love life. (at least when my depression and anxieties aren’t taking over.) I am me, and I sometimes find it hard to describe myself, although most of the time I am quite articulate. I am open minded and when feeling alright I am up for a challenge.
