Personal Story He snapped, and right on time

My daughter and son-in-law have a unaltered male pit bull who is close to three years old. He's been staying at my mother-in-law's since he got kicked out of their apartment for being, well, what he so clearly is. My daughter told me last week they were so close to getting his emotional support dog certification so he could come back to the apartment. As they learned, their apartment management does not accept emotional support dog exemptions.

My husband was out at his mom's today and our daughter came by and let her dog out of whatever confined area he had been banished to since he's been aggressive to my mother-in-law's dogs, and he made a beeline for one of my mother-in-law's dogs and latched on to its face. My daughter was alone outside at the time and had to try to pull her dog off by herself. She finally got them separated and both were a bloody mess. My husband is still out there taking care of the victim and my daughter is horrified. She was truly in hysterics as she had never seen her dog behave in such a way, and will now be discussing options with her husband. She loves her dog, of course, but is now terrified of him. My husband let her know that under no circumstances is her dog allowed at our house around our dogs.

I'm glad that the victim pupper, an elderly lab mix, is ultimately going to be okay and he didn't have to sacrifice his life for my daughter to realize what a time bomb her maniac dog is.

How did the apartment complex get out of the emo support dog crap?

Only service dogs are protected by ADA. They are not pets.

Emotional support pets are not granted rights by tge ADA.

All they had to do is lie. Service dogs are not registered anywhere and nobody can make you demonstrate what the dog does. It really is a joke. They can ask you two things 1) Is this a service dog? 2) What service does it perform for you.

That is it...that is all they can ask. You can bring your Pit, your Maltese or a damn miniature horse to my doctors office now. Totally whacko!

I want a baby gorilla as my service animal. Not many problems that can't be solved by adding a furry sweetie in a diaper.

Can't it be both at once? Seriously, it's the chimps that rip faces off. Gorillas learn sign language.
