why do people tgink its their right to try to pet and play with my dog

Shes a service dog whos is trained to pick up on panic attacks and help me calm down. Yet people always come up to her to stroke her or distract her. You are put me in danger doing that.

Whats worse is i have had parents yell at me for telling their kids to leave my dog alone. They say “they are just kids so its fine let them. Dont be so stuck up about it” Thats not how it works. Me and dad trained rusky to hide away from people trying to pet her. And i have one had a woman who was annoyed that i told her to leave my dog alone that she followed me around the shop trying to get rusky to come to her. If you have a service dog do you have the same problems
