what would your dog do if it encountered a real service dog?
Absolutely nothing so long as YOU obey the leash law and keep your fucking dog away from mine.

A dog without a fake service vest and card can still attack you and your real service animal. All that having a fake one does is help people who are homeless or traveling be able to keep their dogs safe and with them at all times. Not every "vester" is a dodgy mutt trying to take your face off.
The inclusion of a fake vest doesn't increase or decrease the likelihood of mishaps in life, figuratively and literally. I can understand the frustration but what are you doing on STP if you're so opposed to people doing what they want in spite of the law, just because of your misfortune? And to "hate" an entire group over one persons mistake and irresponsibility?
Some dogs will always bite, there will always be shitty animal owners. Laws and hate wont fix that.
yeah, you can buy a vest online. then use this info and don't answer any questions. make people feel bad for asking. you can also claim you are *training* a service dog, which i would probably suggest given the above discussion.the american disabilities act does not require you to tell anyone your disability and they (legally) cannot discriminate against you for using a service dog. just get a vest and you should be set.
make up somethin like this on microsoft paint.....you can laminate it and put it in one of those id holder doohickeys..legally you dont need it but usually it helps save you from having to argue
I did this for my dog, also had a certificate made up for him too the same way.. didn't even have a vest and it worked... every time
i travel with a REAL service dog . i hate fakers . what would your dog do if it encountered a real service dog? i can tell you - my SD has been attacked by a "vester ". the hippie douche owner went to jail for 60 days, his dog was put down , then i sued him for $5K. all the money when to retraining , it put my life in danger .
Two words: CATTLE PROD. Any dog, regardless of breed will halt in their tracks when they come nose to nose with one of those. I carry one with me to protect myself and my dogs from loose dogs and Coyotes. Works like a charm EVERY time.
I couldnt agree more with Shakou my SD has not attacked but has definatly snipped at other dogs a few times she simply dosent like other dogs near me like she is protecting me. Even the most well trained SD is still an animal with instincts.And a real service dog can turn on a dog that isn't a service dog. It's happened to us before, and I'm sure we weren't an isolated incident. Service dogs are still dogs, and at the end of the day instinct will always over ride training.
