It's gotten out of control with fake ESDs that are clearly not trained. Trained ESDs do not look longingly at, and sniff other passengers burger king bags. The trained animal is easily spotted....
I think it depends on the route.... I flew JFK-LAX-JFK recently and both flight had "service" dogs, both of which seemed to be of the emotional comfort type. One was absolutely massive and made me seriously question why the airlines and the FAA havent tried to limit this type of behavior.
