For many people across Texas, having a service dog to help them with their disability is a great tool, as well as a great companion. However, for some being out in public with their service dog doesn’t come without some sort of scrutiny.
Most service dogs are trained to help those who are deaf, blind or physically handicapped. But there are also those with invisible wounds or disabilities. For example; Veterans that suffer from PTSD.
In recent months KENS 5 has come across several people questioned and/or harassed about their disability because their service dog doesn’t look like your typical service K9, or because the person handling the dog doesn’t appear to be disabled.
San Antonian Carrie Ann Partch suffers from PTSD. She has a toy poodle named Bella who is her service dog. Partch claims she’s been harassed about her service dog twice this semester at the UTSA downtown campus, as well as at other places around town.

Retarrd FEMALE Vet, all she had to do was provide proof. That her mutt was legit.
ReplyDeleteIm sure she carries paperwork and other proof of identification to enter base commissary to buy her fat ass stuff.
Any1 can buy a service dog on vest on EBAY!
Asshole - FEDERAL LAW states that no one may ask for "proof" or "paperwork". Veterans deserve the benefit of the doubt - unlike liberal dim-wit-o-cRATS like you.
