Yes, I thought the debate was just about pets. Trained service dogs are not the issue for me. Working service dogs don't act like pets, so I think they are completely different.

My son was recently bitten by a dog. He was not seriously injured, but it was a terrifying experience. The dog owner believed his dog was well behaved and was shocked that his dog bit my son. We have to remember that animals are unpredictable. Dogs in public places like grocery stores put people at risk.
