Maybe cause therapists are recommending them. When I worked at Walmart there was a customer who always brought his little dog with him, he had a letter from the doctor saying he needed that dog for part of his anger management therapy. But there are also people who just want to bring their little Fi-Fi dogs with them into the store and they'll lie and say it's for therapy.
