<!--This episode discusses service dogs in public. We review why it is vital not to interact with service dogs while they are working. I explain the risks this has for the person who relies on the service dog and the possible serious legal consequences for people who can't help themselves. We highlight whose job it is to potentially check if a service dog is legitimate and what is and isn't an indication of this. Visible versus invisible disabilities and service dog vests are also explained.
