Why must people descriminate against unseen illness?

Guess what I'm 21 you can't see that I'm ill but it doesn't mean I am not. I have arthritis throughout my entire body and I have depression. No I do not show my pain, but it is there. I have a service dog that travels with me to help me with tasks you can do with no pain. People think I play the system to have my pet when they look. Don't judge a book by its cover.

She's spoiled. I don't want to make her a slave like most service animals act either she needs to be able to be a dog

definitely, i totally agree with you, just because she helps you doesn't mean she can't be treated how a pet dog would be, i don't blame you one bit, bless her, she's just lovely :)

Because people think that we fake the pain just to get attention.

I'm training her right now. I was raised in a walk it off don't cry farm way. I don't limp if I can help it and I fight through the pain. If I fall my service dog (once she is trained) will get my phone, pick stuff up that I drop and other simple tasks

everyone gonna think one way or another. people worry too much about things they have no control over.

Kimmerrose · 31-35, F

She's not hurting them they need to get over it

@Kimmerrose: i know but people are evil that way. just something we have to accept

My cousin has a service dog for similar reasons. Hopefully your training of her goes well.

Train your dog to bite the nay sayers

That'd be nice but she'd loose her license lol
