Today I read a piece on Yahoo entitled “Confession: emotional support dogs are B.S., I know because I have one,” and couldn’t help but shake my head at the unbelievable ignorance emanating off of the title alone.

Dear whomever anonymously penned this ridiculous article,
Your personal desire to scam the system with your own individual dog isn’t a reflection of every other person who has an “emotional support” animal. Further, the only “confession” that was found in this particular piece of anonymous writing was that your “official ESA certificate is fake,” and that you’re “a faker.” Your own words. Okay, great. But how is that a condemnation of anyone else who may have an “emotional support” dog? It’s not. It’s a reflection of you, and you only.

This writer goes on to say that airlines “nickel and dime” people, and that’s why they did it. Yes, they seem to. So that was the solution of this 1 person, to fake the certificate. That’s all that we’ve learned here. Noted. Still, they keep making the arrogant choice to speak on everyone’s behalf, as if they have any idea or insight into what they are talking about when it concerns any other person. Are there likely more people out there doing the same thing as this guy or gal? I’m sure. But that still doesn’t disqualify the concept of having an “emotional support” dog and/or render the actual “emotional support” dogs of the world (of all breeds and types) invalid.
