Waldroup, 3, was minding her own business with her mom in a restaurant
when a pit bull wearing what was probably a phone "service dog" vest
tore the crap out of her, badly injuring her face.
Immediately
after the attack the dog was taken from the restaurant by an adult
female, apparently the dog's owner. The girl will require plastic
surgery to repair her face. It is generally considered by the
witnesses, none of who bothered to try to identify the woman or her car
(assuming she drove away) that the dog was almost certainly NOT a legit
service dog.
I hope they
find the owner, throw her in jail and sue the living shit out of her.
Something does need to be done about this fake service animal crap.

My son uses a highly trained service dog. It is marked not only as a service dog, but as a military trained service animal. It isn't trained to be aggressive. It is trained to know if he is about to have a medical episode, stay by his side and bark until help arrives. It will not leave his side and stays with him in the hospital. Documentation is carried on the dog with instructions for care and contact information. It has assisted my son on multiple occassions. It is a Belgian Malinois. The dog will not normally interact with others. Unofficial service animals are bullshit and folks who parade illegitimates need to be arrested.
