Assuming anything in this instance is jumping to a conclusion that most likely is wrong. Should something ever happen to you where you need a service animal of any size, shape or breed, you would not be so quick to judgement.

Just to let you know, my wife travels with a small service dog who has done wonders for her health and well being and has given her a new lease on life. Her disability is not evident, is chronic so it won't go away. You'd be surprised at the questions she receives. She is gracious, always responding kindly. I would not wish what she has on any others so I support and assist her wherever possible and explain to others the benefits her service dog provides to her. You might consider the same.
