Again, the issue is not whether or not this woman has a true disability whom none of us are privy to state, but the law was not abided by. As the law states now, SHE did nothing against it.

Still sounds like a frivolous lawsuit. I'm all for service dogs and all the good they do. But I think common sense has to have a priority.How is a person that "has had back surgery" able to shop better at Wal-Mart with a "service dog in training"??? If she doesn't have a valid reason, she is going to make it harder for the one's that do if this gets dragged thru the courts. The law was created to protect a true need.
