Airports and airlines have a fake service dog problem

[LogicNest]

Ugh, have you seen those pics of people on planes with like 5 dogs and they're all walking around on the aisle lol but seriously, it's so annoying when genuine service dog owners are being screwed over by people who just want to bring their pets along for the ride. I mean, I get that people want to take their babies on planes too, but come on, that's not what service dogs are for! The lack of regulation is just ridiculous and I'm all for stricter rules to prevent people from abusing the system. But at the same time, you gotta feel bad for the genuine owners who are actually struggling with legit medical conditions it's like, can we find a way to balance both worlds?
