Just a rant about idiots and my SDIT

I swear people do not know how to handle being around a service animal! Moe is doing a good job when we take him out, but it is the other people we have to worry about. We get to reactions from people (either they are terrified of him or they want to play). Well that is all fine and good. But when I am trying to get his attention for something and people are constantly petting him without permission, it makes both of our jobs harder. And then there are the morons at Walmart.... I swear half the employees don't speak a word of English. And the ones that do would not know a service animal if it came up and bit them on the leg! They can ask two and only two questions. But they keep asking me where his vest is. If you look at the ADA website, it says that vests are NOT REQUIRED! We went back today with Moe wearing his brand new bandanna and they could clearly see that it said that he was in training and they still asked me if he is a service animal! I thought to myself` "Are these people for real?!"  After we finally got in, Andy and I were shopping and someone stepped on Moe's tail, and then gives HIM a dirty look! And this happens every time we go there lately, someone either steps on him or kicks him or runs over his foot or tail with the cart. LOOK WHERE YOU ARE GOING DUMB ASS.  Yes, he is a 4 month old puppy. But he is still a LARGE dog and kinda hard to miss!
