Do service dogs call 911? No? I didn't think so...

I think that's me. I'm the "one of you" not the person in the article although I won't be surprized if I have to go to court about the issue sometime soon. She's a bearded dragon. I don't mind disclosing why I need her but then no one has ever gotten cocky about it either. The dude at the Subway said some of the customers are getting freaked out by her and suggested I bring her in her carrier. I'm thinking once I get her vest made people will just have to face their reptile phobias.

Seems legit to me. It's called emotional support animal. A service turtle would improve my life. Unfortunately the concept is still pretty new here.

I hope the guy and his lizard will make it!
