‘Entitled’ Mom Asks If Her Child Can Pet Service Dogs, Can’t Take “No” For An Answer

People get into petty arguments with strangers all the time. They are usually brief and quickly forgotten about, and everyone just gets on with their lives. However these days, with pretty much everyone wielding easy access to a camera phone, these minor altercations can suddenly take on a life of their own.

This argument at a mall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is a classic example of this. Misplaced anger and petty vindictiveness over a refused request to pet a service dog escalated a simple misunderstanding into a viral video, that has thousands of people weighing in with their own opinions on the matter.

The video was originally shared to Facebook by service dog handler Megan Stoff and has been viewed over 2 million times, with people shocked by the aggression of the entitled mother. It is (or at least should be) a well-known fact that service dogs are there to assist people with special circumstances or requirements, and shouldn’t be interfered with while working. Sure, a polite request can be made, but no means no, and this mom didn’t seem to understand that.

'Entitled' Mom Asks If Her Child Can Pet Service Dogs, Can't Take "No" For An Answer

Had this crazy experience yesterday at the mall where some lady asked if she could pet the dogs. People ask us all the time so I just said, “no.” All the dogs are working so it’s my go to answer. And they walked away. No big deal right? This lady went out of her way to come back with her child and yell at us for saying “no” and for not saying, “nO iM sOrRy ThEy’Re TrAiNiNg.” And we should “have a sign or something.” You mean the 20 patches on my dog that say don’t pet? 🙃 Entitlement these days is real. They even got mall security because we said they couldn’t pet the working dogs. 🙃😂 Security said that the lady was crying 😂 So much harassment for just saying no. This video is public and is shareable. There was no common sense here.

'Entitled' Mom Asks If Her Child Can Pet Service Dogs, Can't Take "No" For An Answer

The group was on a meet-up at the mall, getting to know each other as fellow service dog training professionals. One of the group, Ciarán Williamson, couldn’t understand why being told ‘no’ upset the mom quite as it did, and after being confronted by the mall security that she called on them, decided that enough was enough and went home. Ciarán gave his perspective on being a service dog handler to Bored Panda. “I don’t necessarily mind being asked to pet my dog, though usually, I have to tell people no,” he told us. “I don’t really get upset by having to do this unless it’s a particularly stressful dog training day or environment and I’m having trouble doing what I’ve set out to do in the first place.”

“I’d rather people ask than just lean in and try to grab her, which happens every day… but I don’t always have the energy to explain what she’s doing or why she can’t be petted. I’m autistic and sometimes just can’t speak very efficiently at all so I can’t explain even if I wanted to. I might shake my head no, or indicate in some other short way not to pet her or talk to her, and I just want to have that respected. People also often take pictures of us without asking, and that makes me really super uncomfortable, I don’t want people to do that at all.”

“I guess I just don’t want people to assume I can divert my attention to interact with them how they want me to, and that if someone has a service dog in the first place, it means they’re disabled and probably having a hard time already. Using judgment about whether it’s appropriate to ask to pet helps (does the dog already have a vest on that says not to pet? Is it really loud and busy and chaotic of an atmosphere? Does the service dog handler look uncomfortable or distracted?). I have let people pet her, but in particular situations where I can focus on making sure I keep her attention, and I know I won’t need her to work for me at that moment.”

“Unfortunately I feel like people don’t consider me at all when they ask to interact with my companion pet the majority of the time. Usually, rude people just lean in and talk to her or try to pet her without even acknowledging me… They also often just assume I’m rude instead of something out of my control (like I can’t hear them, which happens a lot in overstimulating environments). I am concerned about people feeling the entitlement to do these things because it’s widespread.”

“My dog Clover is doing very well in training though, she has a Facebook page I started for her recently so people could see her and ask me questions about her and stuff there if they’re curious. I like talking about my service dog, just not necessarily when I’m trying to go grocery shopping! She deals well with strangers approaching, but she is an amiable and outgoing dog that enjoys people so attention from other people can be a big distraction for her and it’s something we have to work on all the time. I don’t think people consider that when they get upset about not being allowed to pet her.”

Doesn't look like it! Maybe "NO" is to long! But, who knows, maybe a nice hard "WHAP"! would get her attention!!! Please people, the people behind the dogs are people, too! And as people they have the same rights, and deserve the same respect as you want! But for the Grace of God, you could be in their shoes, or wheelchair, too! Just be polite! Merry Christmas!

For the record..it isn't just service dogs..it's all dogs. Ask before you approach and pet a dog. My sister had this problem. Her german shepherd loved going to the park..but as she got older, her body ached and she was going blind. She became scared of strangers and would avoid them when she could. So imagine my sisters irritation when the kids would ask their parents "Can I pet the dog" and the parents would say "Ok" without even asking my sister. She would stop the child and send them back to their parents. She was called nasty names enough times that she stopped taking the dog to the one place her senior pup loved to go. I hate people that disrespect boundaries.

I had just rescued a dog that was abused by not one but two previous owners. My poor dog was skittish and scared of quick or large movements. When two kids ran up to my dog and tried to pet him, he was terrified. After I lectured them up one side and down the other, those were two kids that will never make that mistake again. He became the best dog ever though. He lost most of his skittishness with time and became a happy pup. He just turned 16 years old.

I have this problem also. Because people are so ignorant about Pit bulls and I own two. Both whom are VERY sweet, I insist that people ask me first just so I can educate them before they come running up and freaking out my dog and then scream to the media that Pitbulls are vicious.

I feel the same way. I never used to worry about it with my family dog because he loved everyone and everything. But my current dog is a rescue and afraid of almost everyone—especially children. I am perfectly fine with letting people—especially children—pet her as I’ve been trying to work on socializing her, but if people ask first then I can prepare her and hold her for them to pet her. Otherwise she’ll run away from them or start barking at them like crazy. Not every dog likes strange people. Their owners would know this better than any random stranger.

I have, raise, and train GS. They are not stranger friendly or pettable (C**p is that a word)....until I tell them to be nice and to love. Then you may approach them and pet them. Till then, they view you as a threat...to me....and behave appropriately. Ask yourself would you walk up to a police officer and his Fur Partner and ask to pet it if they are on patrol. Of course not. Show some brains. Also, this is why some people should not be allowed to breed.

I agree with you. I've got a small rescue dog which is really afraid of people he doesn't know. As he is small some people think it's OK to lift him and "toss" him, or pretend they are taking him with them, but the poor dog panics. In the beginning I tried to be nice, but I got tired of it. People: if you see that a dog doesn't want to touched, DO NOT TOUCH HIM/HER.

Our current dog can be very snappy at people, stranger or people we know. It took her 3 years to accept one of my cousins.

I thought there was a thing where you put a yellow ribbon or something on your leash to say that people should not approach the dog. I guess that never took off. I agree with you 100 percent...the parents who just assume they can let their kids pet dogs would probably sue if a dog took a nip at the child. You story is so sad. As you say, the poor dog couldn't live her last days in piece at her favorite place. That makes me want to cry.

This is why I'm happy that my partner is not afraid to call people out on their bad behaviour. If someone comes up and tries to pet our older malamute who is going blind without asking he will tell them they are being rude and inconsiderate of our dog's feelings and they do not have a right to touch him without asking.

My son (almost 3) looooves dogs and always wants to pet each one he sees. I always ask and if the answer is no, I tell him 'the doggy doesn't want to be petted and that's okay' and we move on. When we encouter a service dog however, I ALWAYS tell him 'we can't pet that doggy because it's busy working'. I really don't get why that is so hard for people to understand. Service dogs are not pets in the 'usual' sense, they have a very important job to do and it's just not okay to distract them. Unless the owner says it's okay of course ;-)

I agree with you. I was in a college class with a girl that was in a wheelchair. I shared the handicapped desk with her and would take notes for her. Her service dog would sit in between us. I was the only one allowed to pet the dog but only after class was over. Other students would pet the dog any dam time they wanted without asking the owner. Over the course of the class, you could see this girl was starting to lose control of the dog as it became more excitable when students came into class. I mentioned this to the professor who made an announcement to the class what was happening with the dog. He ended his announcement "And if I catch or hear of anyone petting that dog again, it will be an automatic failing grade for the class and you will be asked to leave." That made everyone keep their hands to themselves.

Oh geez, I thought this stuff just happened to me. I have a service dog who helps me function with CPTSD, but when I go out with her I get treated so badly. People come up and try to pet her, try to call to her and distract her, act like I’m not there and engage with her. I have people ask me why I’m disabled, I’ve had people try to hit her with her shopping carts. It’s like full-on harassment. I have a hard enough time leaving the house most days with the condition I live with without my service angel dog, but I hate taking her with me a lot too because people are such full on a*s-hats. My spouse says its because people don’t understand what a service dog is, but I don’t want to be an ambassador for service dogs and their owners. I’m disabled and I’m just trying to live a normal enough life that I can take care of myself and family. Why are people so rude and inconsiderate?

You probably have already thought of it, but have you asked if you can pet their child, or where they work or why they can walk?

In many states, it's actually only legal to record video of someone without sound — once you have recorded audio (either as part of a video or an audio-only recording), you absolutely have to have the other person's consent (and generally get that before you record them).

It shouldn't even matter that it's a service dog. If I don't want some stranger to pet my dog damn right I'm just going to say "no". My pet is not public property and I don't owe an explanation. How entitled can a person be? I'm really blown away that so many people consider it completely normal to just go up to another person's dog and pet/play with it. If the dog is running around without a leash it's somewhat acceptable. But in my country people usually engage the owner before asking to pet the dog, especially if its on a leash.

Thanks for the article. Her daughter didn't seem traumatized. How hard is it to notice a service jacket? Is the mother illiterate? It's not rocket science to tell a little kid "The dog is working. You can't pet the dog." Sadly, some people take "no" way too personally. My sister trained her children to ask before petting a dog. I don't touch working dogs and ask "Is it friendly?" for pets I don't know.

Children should be taught that they are not entitled to pet any dog they see regardless. I got into a horrible situation wiht my dogs when an unattended 2/3 year old child demanded to pet them and wouldnt take "NO" for an answer. My dogs were happy friendly loving and excitable. On a walk one evening close to home, this toddler in the street shouted "Doggees, want to see doggees" she was tiny and was intent on petting my dogs. Must have told her so many times to not come any closer as she weighed less than either of my harmlss loving bouncy dogs. She wouldnt listen - only 2/3 yrs old. Dogs were getting excited at a prospective playmate their size. I honestly ended up sat on the ground (centre of gravity" to avoid getting pulled over as they wanted to meet "her". Long and short of it was this toddler ran up the street screaming "doggy hurt me, doggyhurt me" due to a very small scratch on her arm from the claw a very friendly dog. I was furious that parents could let an unattended child roam free - and scared my dogs were going to be in trouble for being too friendly - 2 female boxers. I took the dogs home - went right back to this street (to be fair it was a street that didnt have traffic so the kid wasnt going to get hit by a car and I think the toddler was supposed to be in the charge of her siblings in the road at the time - obviously not.). I was soo angry - I knocked on 2 or 3 doors til I found the right one and said to the mother - "please teach your child not to approach dogs without asking and if the owner says No - respect it. This was at a time when there was alot of stuff in the news about dangerous dogs etc. I really was petrefied I would be accused of having dogs dangerously out of control - but it was an out of control unsupervised child that was the problem. she could have got knocked to the ground in their eagerness to play - and actually been injured. Who's fault would it have been? both my dogs were on leads and restrained- the child wasnt.

Something similar happened to me, when I was about the same age. I saw two dogs, about the same height as boxers playing with each other on the sidewalk. So I went to them because I wanted to cuddle them. One dog put his paws on my shoulders and knocked me over, so I fell on my back. That incident traumatized me back then and made me afraid of dogs for a very long time. Always having this incident in mind is why I tell parents of little children, that they can't pet my dog. He is a very shy dog and usually starts barking if he gets the attention of a stranger. A little child can easily misinterpret his behavior. So in a way I'm trying to avoid possible traumas because they shouldn't miss out on having a wonderful relationship with a dog in the future.

Very few people understand what the word respect actually means and when they ask for respect they’re actually saying “treat me like you would a king/queen”. I mean why would I respect a stranger? I mean I’ll be polite and courteous to a stranger but respect is earned and therefore does not apply to a stranger. For all I know, that stranger is a jerk. I’m not going to treat them with admiration which is what respect actually means.

As a veteran who has PTSD and agoraphobia (fear of leaving the house.) In my case I am able to leave the house IF I have someone with me, or my service dog) My service dog has the ability to sense when I am about to have an anxiety attack anywhere from 10-15 minutes before it happens. She will pull me to a quiet area, sit down in front of me and I am able to focus on her breathing which calms me down. Ignorant people like this woman don't understand how important service animals are to their owners. Mine helps me get through traumatic episodes, but I can't imagine how much more a blind person relies on their animal! How terrifying it must be for them to always have in the back of their minds "ok, this is the day I am going to get hit by a car because some idiot insisted on distracting my dog". And yes, it can happen right as they get ready to cross the street. I have had people whistle from across the mall, do that smooching thing to get her attention from accross the street. Idiots..

I don't have a service dog, but I've had kids come running up to my dog to try and grab at him. My dog gets nervous when kids he doesn't know run at him because they can be unpredictable. He is a Jack Russell- Beagle mix, so when he barks it's big for a dog his size. He barks as a warning and has never snapped at anyone, but those kids parents will give me an ugly look cause my dog warned them off and scared their kid. They can f**k off. I've learned not to even make excuses for him. You can't just run up and pet a dog you've never met. You may say they're just animals but like humans animals have their own individual fears and dislikes. They're not all programmed to like you.

What the fork is calling a lawyer going to do on behalf of the mother. "Hi, my daughter wanted to pet a service dog and like I was told "NO" and not "sorry no the dog is training" and then when I tried to invoke my will on to those rude people, they video taped me. I want to sue for my right to pet any service dog that doesn't have a sign". Lawyer "Didn't the dog have a vest with patches saying DO NOT PET on the vest?". Entitled b*tch, "Umm, well, umm, well, umm, I guess so." Lawyer, "Stop wasting my time, and get over yourself you entitled twat".

I have a Great Dane Mobility/PTSD Certified Service Dog. on his harness says SERVICE DOG on either side of his black harness with white letters, right down the middle of his back says DO NOT PET in big white letters against a black harness , on his chest says Mobility Service dog with the wheelchair insignia in red white and blue chair, and the do not separate dog from handler. there aren't but 4 things to read. very simple to the point. nope, every place we go in our small town it is a constant onslaught of hands pets and people asking stupid questions or because hes a dane we got the extra added HORSE JOKES... who let the horse in here, you have a saddle for that thing, do you walk him or ride him, oh he even has a bridle on, no its a head halter, your kid can not ride him. wow hes huge he must eat allot, what do you feed him...

It blows me away that service dog handlers often report having to tell people No dozens of times per day. Does it look like a normal dog coming up to you to say hi, or is it clearly obvious both visually as well as in demeanour that this isn't a normal doggy situation?

1. I think some people don't mean to be rude or scary entitled--they just really love animals! I am one of those--have always loved kids and animals and will stop and pet animals if their owners are okay with it. 2. In this day and age, I don't know how people DON'T Know what a service dog is for. Any dog in that capacity (whether for an individual's use or in the police or military) are their to do a JOB. They aren't out for a random stroll in the park, and someone distracting them could potentially mean the difference between life and death in certain medical situations. Regardless: if an owner says "no" to petting their animal, you best assume that animal is trained to attack and kill until the owner calls them off, because some are. Except hamsters. I've never heard of a killer hamster.

A service dog should never be distracted while working. That is a very well known fact. There is nothing to discuss. Nobody should touch a dog if the owner does not allow it. Some dogs get bothered and get aggressive after being bothered without stopping in every single walk or trip. I have two Yorkies and a Biewer Terrier. People confuse them with toys. We would not like everyone touching us all day long. One of my dogs loves it. The other two just a bit. It is disrespectful to stop someone every two steps to pet the dog. Sometimes I am in a hurry and people do not even let me walk in peace with my animals asking the same questions. Is it a Yorshire Terrier? How old is he? Is it a boy or a girl? Does he behave well? When I am relaxed and with time, I do not mind. When I am focused in something else, it is quite disturbing. Also if i am having dinner or a coffee with friends or family, people do not stop interrupting us to find out about the dogs. it gets brutally invasive sometimes.

Being in a family where a number of us have disabilities and service animals we get this all the time. And I get close to wanting to punch people in the face for it. I literally had a nearly identical experience when my husband had an epileptic seizure and his seizure dog was doing her job in the middle of Walmart. Absolute worse timing ever. Dude and his 2 kids. Wanted to kill them for it. Trying to keep my husband from biting his tongue and smacking his skull on tile. People are rude when you have disabilities. They tell us we shouldn't park in handicapped parking all the time too. They don't realize you can't always see disabilities.

I recently watched a documentary about the training of service dogs. They actually instruct the family members of the individual with the service dog to not ever give treats or play fetch with the dog bc you don’t want to break the bond that the dog has to it’s human it’s helping. It’s actually imparitive so that the dog stays well trained and behaved. If you just have random people all day petting your dog they’re going to lose focus. This woman is a child and should be greatful she doesn’t need a service dog.

While this mom was completely off her rocker, there's some misinformation here that folks should know regarding the legality of shooting a video of someone without their consent. It's generally okay to shoot video of another person (thus, all the businesses that have security cameras are in the clear), but if that video also contains audio, you're breaking the law in many states, unless you get the person's consent. Different states have slightly different rules, but generally you need to ask ahead of time if it's okay to record them. Why do you think all the businesses you call for phone support mention "this call may be monitored or recorded" before you reach their representative? It's not a courtesy, it's because they legally have to say that — you continuing on the call is your agreement to that (although I believe every business will also disable their recording if you ask them to, once you get a "live" person).

I can’t respond to Valerie (below) but this is for her. The child is an infant. It looks like ever other baby. In a year you’d never be able to tell who that kid was. So stop acting like you’re concerned for the child. It is sincerely concerning that you watch a video of a woman harassing people who are training dogs for disabled individuals and your top concern isn’t that she’s treating strangers she doesn’t know like garbage but that this woman might get shamed for treating people like garbage. How do you expect this woman to change if you think it’s wrong to display her behavior. Also let me just say, if you would be embarrassed of people seeing how you treat strangers in public, maybe you shouldnt treat strangers in a way that makes you ashamed. This isn’t someone recording someone to make fun of them. It’s someone commiting a crime but also someone simply treating other people very very poorly. You are not a victim because someone showed the world what an a-hole you are.

Valerie - this woman was commuting a crime by harassing service dogs/their owners. This wasn’t an argument. An argument is when two people disagree. This was a self entitled woman yelling at innocent people because they didn’t let her do what she wanted. I say, always record when people start acting irrationally because if this woman is crazy enough to yell at service dog trainers for telling her not to pet the dogs, she could be crazy enough to swing at someone. A note to you - if you don’t treat other people like s**t then you don’t have to worry about being filmed while treating people like s**t. Is that you in the video or something? Very confused why your top concern is for the woman harassing service dogs (aka commiting an illegal act). Next you’ll be telling people it’s wrong to film people vandalizing your property and you shouldn’t post it because then people might know that violent criminal is... a violent criminal, the horror!

Unfortunately I feel by you posting this that you are bullying the woman who felt genuinely upset about the way you said no. Yes she should have accepted the no and walked away, but when she approached you mad you could have descelated the situation by agreeing you did answer her rudely and explaining your situation and why she can’t pet her dog. Not everyone understands how service dogs and there training works. Educated the ignorant, don’t shame or bully them because of what they genuinely don’t know. Next time remember that you have the power to deescelate a situation and actually teach the person. She would have felt silly in the end if you explained it to her and it would have been a win win situation instead of this public shaming and bullying.

As for the autistic guy, it is very difficult for many autistic people, no matter how high functioning, to explain something succinctly, especially if the need to do so is unplanned.

We occasionally assist with training service dogs. One dog was so traumatized by strangers walking up and petting him that he bit someone. His owner was legally blind and didn't always see people approaching to tell them to back off. Solution: put a big wire basket muzzle on the dog. (No restriction on the muzzle and the dog can still pant and drink.) That signaled he was "dangerous" and son of a gun, people left him alone. Your child should never pet a dog without permission. You should never pet a dog without permission. No means NO. On the other hand, my son't service dog is cuter than snot and his job is to get my son to interact with people. So Rob always tells people yes they can pet him. And then he chats with person and socialization has occurred. LOL

Pennsylvania's Wiretap Law makes it illegal to record private conversations - which can include conversations in public places - without the consent of all parties to the conversation. Many legal professionals, including myself, STRONGLY ADVISE against recording anyone without PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT. The consent form should be drawn up by an attorney because, unless it is, the drafter might inadvertently leave out important details, thus exposing the recorder to severe liabilities unnecessarily.

I find it sad that this woman life ruined perhaps not forever but for now it must feel like it is over. She does come across pretentious and frankly not very likable based on nothing more than her hat and what appears to be a nanny but she does deserve some grace. I think her rant had very little to do with not being allowed to pet the dog but what she perceived as rudeness and I concur that a curt “no” is a bit rude. Perhaps as claimed the dog “trainer” is autistic and was either not aware that a curt “no” could be perceived as rude or a “no” was the most pleasant she could muster but the service dog lady did not know that. It was not unreasonable to think “no, sorry the dog is in training” would not have been unreasonable.

I am with you on this one. Most people say the mother was rude, but she did ask for permission in the first place. As for the "no" as a sole response, well, in my language it would be considered rude to just say that, and not "I'm sorry, no" or "I'm afraid, no". I understand that the dog owner is autistic and I can't blame her for not being able to say anything more that this "no". However, as many people stated, some disabilities can't be seen, and, well, autism is one of them, so it might generate some situations like this one, in which people this one is rude, when they really are just at their maximum socializing skills. I would like to add that where I live, service dogs are very very rare. I am 35 and have never seen any in my city. I actually learned A LOT about service dogs on this post, and thank you to everyone for sharing your knowledge (and thus filling my ignorance !) ! I feel sad because this situation could have been such a beautiful conversation...

The point is not the service dog here. That was an exchange between them over the "no" that probably scared the little girl or caught the mom by surprise. There was a chance to educate there and not be antagonistic. However the woman escalated it, recorded, shared and humiliated through social media that mother. That is something else entirely. In the video they also attack the other woman that was just standing in the distance. All in all I get a vibe of a person who does not know their laws ( its illegal to post someones video), who gives off a vibe of ( I love my dog I take him to Disneyland but I hate other people), who is very aggressive and petty and most of all a bully, since the mother cant defend herself. I would not want that woman near my garbage, not let alone near my dogs. So separate the issues please, and do not allow her to hide behind her dogs for her behavior.

Even if the dog is not a service dog people have the right to say no to some random stranger wanting to pet them. Some dogs do not like it.

Common sense is not a flower that grows in everyone's garden. Anybody with half a brain should know that service dogs are working and if the person with the dog says no that's what it means.

As someone who is disabled I would like to know is it OK for people to let their children touch me? I have this problem a lot at places like Kaiser that I like a hospital. Or Costco wear it often bring a cane just to avoid children touching me because physical touch causes me pain. Often adults just let their children run up and a literally punch into me... If you’re an adult who has a kid you should respect boundaries of strangers and that especially includes dogs with signs. Watching that lady yelling about calling her aware makes me sick to my stomach. It’s such negativity and if she’s a good person it doesn’t show it all. Hopefully she’s just having a panic attack and deep down inside she’ll have regret later.

Because people can literally buy the service animal vest just because they want to take their dog EVERYWHERE with them and let others pet their dogs (which isn't allowed if they really truly are service dogs).

Different animals react in different ways to different people. I'm sure the dog handler understands this and, ratherthan risk a law suit if the dog bit someone, they say "no". I love dogs and animals in general, but I'm not the kind of person that will stop someone in their tracks and ask to pet their dog. I just say "cute dog" or "nice pet" and move on. No one has the right to harrass anyone else, animal companion or not.

Even if my dog was not a service dog I wouldn't let you pet him. A service dog is not any different than an owner's dog. And since your asked first, which is the polite thing to do for a service dog or any dog, then you should be able to be agreeable with a yes or no answer. Has anyone ever said "no" to you? You don't seem to have any coping skills. You will be the one we'll read about in the paper who because of road rage killed 5 in the car next to you because they looked at you funny. Get counselling now, be five years ahead of your friends. Sure hope this is the worst thing you'll ever bother your poor lawyer about again.

I had a childhood Girl Scout leader who was blind. As a kid, I asked a few times if I could pet her service dog (the nicest, most docile and professional of seeing-eye dogs, ever! RIP Coby.) The answer was mostly 'no', of course - 'Not right now, he's working.' I later learned not to ask during obvious 'work' hours, that only during very special times, when the dog was 'off the clock' were we all allowed to pet him. This didn't bother me in the least. This was mid-90's, and not a radical concept: you just let the animal work, and respect the human client's rules and boundaries. I feel bad for her kid.

I am so sorry that this happened to you and your service animal I to have a service dog and yes this happens all the time I've even had it happened in church where people have called me a b**** for not allowing my service dog to be petted in church people. First and foremost I can give you some of the reasons why for me you and I don't look like we need a service dog so they don't consider us at all because we appear not to need the assistance of a service animal we don't have a wheelchair we don't have an oxygen tank we're not with a cane so of course we don't need one we just think or they just think that we are training the dogs so that do not pet doesn't apply. Which is absolutely not true I too suffer from social things some days it's easy to be able to talk to people and other days don't approach me and it's hard when training them mine loves to be social to. So some days are easier and only five minute trips to the store and other days was 5 minute trips then turn into an hour

There is obviously 6 patches on my dogs vest and other service dogs vest saying do NOT TOUCH, do not distract, They are working service dogs and they are doing us a beautiful thing to support us and make us feel normal when things are not going so well for us. They do an amazing thing for us and people need to respect that because you can intentionally put us in danger. Distracting a service dog is the worse thing you can do.

The woman (she doesn't appear to have earned the title of mother) holding the child is a complete imbecile. Along with poor social skills, she has problems understanding basic tenets of law and is an extremely poor role model for her child. The most salient example is her stated belief that she maintains an expectation of privacy in a public space and her being recorded is "illegal."

First time we saw him my son wanted to pet him and I explained to my son that the puppy is at work helping his daddy grocery shop and that its not okay to interrupt him at work. I told him that that puppy is very special and his daddy needs his help. Now my son sees him and says "You are doing a good job." and "I hope you have a good day at work." When he sees him. I can tell the handler is relieved and happy to see somone understands it and that is absolutely tragic to know how stressful it can be to be in public with your companions :(

I taught my children from a young age that dogs wearing vests (service dogs, K9s, etc) are working. Just like when adults are working, that means it's not playtime so no petting, no playing and no speaking to the dog. Explained that way, my kids understood it easily. We spoke to the person with the dog (holding a conversation or inquiring if they may need assistance or whatever) and moved on. It's important for people to understand that the dogs are trained for a reason. They may be seeing eye dogs, may be trained to alert on an impending seizure or a dropping blood sugar, or any other medical conditions that may harm their person. They need to be able to maintain focus on their duties. I do love the idea of the handler getting a sign - in order to bonk the "learning curve impaired" over the noggin!!!!

I ALWAYS ask if it O.K. to interact with any dog, because when I was a child, we had a dog that would bite anyone who approached her ( acting to protect us ). A few people tried to pet her without permission, and some complained when she went ballistic, but not one person ever tried it twice. If they had asked, we would let the dog know that it was alright, and she would have been perfectly happy to let them get close to her and us. How would this idiot have reacted if the child went to the dog and it had acted aggressively? She should sort her s**t out and realise that you can't do anything you want.

Pennsylvania is a two party consent state. This means that without the consent of both parties involved in the conversation (be it over the phone or in person) the individual recording is criminally liable. The fact that this recording was disseminated to the general public opens this woman up to damages. If the mother in the video claims emotional distress or financial damages she could win millions. A counter-suit would be ill advised and practically un-winnable given the minors in the video and the non-consenting nature of the filming. Depending on the jury, punitive damages could be prodigious. #Knowyourstate before you press record.

No. Firstly, video and audio recording are treated different. She was in a public place with no expectation of privacy (changing room, toilet..) so therefore she could be filmed That's the video part. As far as audio is concerned, the person filming was part of the conversation and therefore did not need the 2nd party's consent. Also, the conversation could not reasonably be called "private" therefore filming with audio was fine.

I know the proper protocol with service dogs, especially with guide dogs who are in harness and working. At an event with several guide dogs, I asked one woman if I could pet her dog.

And she then thanked me for asking, and explained that the dog was still very young and new with her and she didn't want him confused. I would have been happy with just her "NO!" because I understand that working dogs are WORKING. They're not there for our pleasure, they're there to do their JOB!

My little ten pound snchoxie though has survived being hit by a car and has several trigger spots on his little body. I know where he hurts and where I can touch him. So as cute and cuddly as he looks, the answer is no because if you touch a sore spot, he's going to bite you, end of story.

This b***h is a self-entitled c**t. But what bothers me about these and many other recordings, is that people record everything and everyone, and post them online for the world to see. Even if it is legal, just don't do it. You wouldn't want it done to you. Over here, it is actually illegal to film anyone in public, if the person can be recognised on the video, they need to give their permission. If the person sees that he is being recorded, and doesn't say anything at all, that counts as giving permission. Even security cameras are only allowed to record it's own property, not the street or any other public place. If I would ever encounter a scenario that I do not want to be recorder, and the person does it anyway, and doesn't stop and deletes the recordings. I'd grab their device and smash it to bits. When someone steals from you, and you happen to have a security camera, the only thing you are allowed with the footage is go to the police, so they can take the right actions.

I wonder how this b***h would feel if someone just came up to her out of the blue and asked if they could pick her child up out of her stroller and then reacted the way she did when she says No. The dog handler/owner owes her absolutely NOTHING!!! She could have said "F**k NO you can't touch my dog! Are you f*****g blind, stupid or illiterate???" and she would have been perfectly within her right to do so!! I am really glad this was shared and hope that many more see it. People need to understand that these dogs are not toys, they are not pets. They have an important job to do for their owner and they are after all just a dog that can not always understand that they must ignore and turn away from love and affection from strangers, the thing all dogs live for. The complete lack of respect and compassion for the owner who has the special needs that only these dogs provide is appalling. I know much of it is not done on purpose but somehow there needs to be a way to spread awareness.

@menthaal good job teaching your son respect AND boundaries! My mama taught me the same thing! Animals have restrictions as well as humans and we should never just assume it's ok to put our hands on them without consent of the owner. How would you like being hugged by a stranger on the street without being asked first?

Hmmm. I am not going to say what it is but this site encourages a lot of s**t like this. In one post calls a bunch of old ladies "girls" and in this one calls this person an "entitled mom". Just to drift from the syndrome this site makes it okay for there to be entitled moms and people and that maybe those old ladies in the story labeled as "girls" are just apart of this system of entitlement. With all your pandering to pets and the freaks around them~ this is what you do to people who need actual respect because they need pets and animals to help them. And else by always pandering to the fun and interests of privileged sons of bitches and their way of life; you miss the point completely even in this article.

You don’t touch any dog without a permission because you don’t know them. Much less a service dog and I have never seen one that didn’t have a vest and patches so if you actually use your eyes, you see they are there. If you want to touch animals, I recommend visiting a place where they are for that purpose and maybe even learn something.

My dogs are not service dogs and one of my dogs loves people and really loves kids and I do not mind letting people pet him should they ask first and then I can monitor the situation. My other dog hates everyone and really hates kids and its amazing how many parents let their kids run up to him and I have to literally yell at the kid to stop and then explain why and teach the child plus the parent that not all dogs like people and may bite. Of course if their precious child runs up and gets bit then its all my fault and I can picture my being sued for damages etc. Its so bad that I walk one dog at a time so I can control the non people loving one better and we walk a route where not many people go. Everyone needs to respect animals and ask first and if its ok then let the animal owner take control of the situation. I used to work retail and every day saw people petting service dogs even though the owner said no. No is No!!!

I can't hate the entitled woman. Just because I know medically speaking there is probably something mentally wrong with her. From her behavior of someone telling her no, she throws a fit. She verbally harassed someone with a SERVICE DOG, because she only knows how to tear people down to make herself feel better. When she left and got the security guard she started to "play the victim" even though she was the one breaking the law. From a psychologists point of view, she most likely has Narcissist personality disorder of some degree. I worry over her daughter being raised by someone that mentally unstable.

I remember one idiot who tried to pet a pit bull. Not a normal one, but the biggest one I ever saw, he was probably ten centimeters taller than regular (probably it was mixed with something else a bit) and with the eyes nearly shouting "stressed and dizzy". This dog was scared because some idiot was playing with fireworks and I guess that he didn't like explosions. But back to the cretin who tried to pet him. He rushed with something like "Oh, bulls love me and I love them" owner tried to stop him. Cretin was arguing and maybe you would guess that dogs like this will not appreciate when somebody shows bad attitude towards his best friend and master. But missis luck likes cretins so he managed to get away with just a new scar on his face.

Public Service Announcement: Service dogs are WORKING! Do not pet them. Do not speak to them. Do not make eye contact and try to get their attention. They have a serious job to do. You may see a service dog and it's handler and assume because you do not see an evident disability that the dog is ok to approach. Interacting with a service dog is no different than going up to someone with a cane and trying to take it from them. A service dog is in fact "medical equipment". Not all disabilities/conditions can be seen. Just because a person isn't in a wheelchair, or blind doesn't mean that the challenges they face aren't there. Leave service dogs alone so they can do their job. And if you feel you must ask their handler questions like "can I pet your dog", "what does your dog do", or "what's wrong with you that you need a dog", respect the handler's response regardless of how it has been delivered to you. They get asked those questions and ones even more intrusive and disrespectfu

Having worked in customer support for more than 10 years, plain "NO" without anything else does sound rude to me. I can't imagine myself answering in such a way to ANY stranger on the street (unless I legitimately feel threatened). How hard is it to say a few more words to make it sound nicer? Be nice to people if you want them to be nice in response. Though if I was in this situation and heard plain rude NO in response to my polite question, I wouldn't make a scene, but would just explain my little daughter what rudeness is and how everyone should be nicer to each other to make this world a better place.

1. The mother and her child are not customers. 2. The women with the dogs are not serving the mother and her child. 3. Would you think it rude if the mother said NO to a stranger who asked to touch her child's hair? Would you similarly lecture her to be polite to strangers who get upset when she won't let them touch her child? Would she owe them any explanation at all, nevermind one that finally satisfies the angry stranger?

I was furious that parents could let an unattended child roam free - and scared my dogs were going to be in trouble for being too friendly - 2 female boxers. I took the dogs home - went right back to this street (to be fair it was a street that didnt have traffic so the kid wasnt going to get hit by a car and I think the toddler was supposed to be in the charge of her siblings in the road at the time - obviously not.). I was soo angry - I knocked on 2 or 3 doors til I found the right one and said to the mother - "please teach your child not to approach dogs without asking and if the owner says No - respect it. This was at a time when there was alot of stuff in the news about dangerous dogs etc. I really was petrefied I would be accused of having dogs dangerously out of control - but it was an out of control unsupervised child that was the problem. she could have got knocked to the ground in their eagerness to play - and actually been injured. Who's fault would it have been?

Sorry guys, the whole story isn't being told here. Apparently the woman was told "no" and she walked over to Starbucks, the dog owners used a profanity as she walked away. That's when she came back and told them off. I would have done the same thing. Using profanity in front of a child is wrong. There is also no proof that this woman harassed the dogs. None whatsoever.

To think a whole generation of kids are being raised by a mother like this is scary. There's a local pub here I'll go in and watch a football game once in a while, mostly very friendly Trump supporters who are courteous and respect others. Once in a while a lefty kook comes in and spews propaganda they just watched on CNN and brings the whole mood down. I think it's time to make it legal to separate people based on their beliefs since virtually every interaction now brings conflict.

Some people are just that special kind of stupid, thinking they get to do whatever they please. If she thinks that her behavior and right to pet whatever is okay, does that mean others can come up and pet her baby or her, despite her saying no? Why does she think that "no" applies to anyone but her? She is one of these people that needs a cluebat cracked over her head...

I have a son who lives with disabilities. I have had the opposite happen. I am not a dog person and avoid them. Some pet owners have brought their dogs near my son so he can pet them. They get upset when I ask them to keep the dog away. I also had two different groups training service dogs get upset when they asked if he had a dog and I said no. I was attacked more than once as a child and do not trust dogs, as well as I don't want their mess.

I'm fond of dogs, but I have not issue with someone being uncomfortable with them. One time on a hike, a friendly dog approached our group. I stepped over to get between the dog and a woman who was afraid of them. The woman was relieved and I was happy to pet the dog.

I'm British so I do feel like just saying 'NO' is very rude and bound to get people's backs up! Here a normal person would say 'no, sorry, he's a service dog' and there wouldn't have been the argument. If I had asked politely to pet the dog and I was snapped at in that way I would have walked away and not started an argument though. I would, however, think that person was having a bad day and took it out on me.

They're service dogs with jackets that say both that they are service dogs and DO NOT PET. And it doesn't even matter -- if they weren't service dogs, she should have accepted No when the owners declined. It would be like one of the women asking if they could touch her girl's hair and throwing a fit when she said No but not politely and didn't give an excuse that satisfied the stranger.

Yes, but the handler said they're autistic and may come across as a bit brusque. It happens with those on the spectrum in social situations, and should be taken into consideration. Besides, when most people get a plain "No" as an answer, they may feel offended but will just walk away, rather than escalate the situation by engaging unnecessarily like this idiot did.

If people have a certified service dog (not an emotional support animal) there is a very good reason for it. Sometimes just getting through their day is hard enough without having to be polite. Especially when asked a question that already has a clear answer right in front of ones face.

I just don't get this younger generation. It seems to be that we see more and more of these type things occuring with this "me too" generation. Since I was born in the mid 50's, I was taught to obey the rules or suffer the consequences. And , YES, I did get my share of spankings from both my mom and dad, and not just for disobeying their rules, but getting caught mistreating others in any way. My wife and I raised our two sons the same way. As they got old enough to understand what the "look" meant from mom or dad, that was all it took to correct a bad action. I also raised them to pay ATTENTION to everything around you at all times, it can keep you from making a fatal mistake or even a socially embarrassing one. My boys understand that the world doesn't owe you anything, you owe it for all the opportunities it brings your way to succeed in life.

Not defending the person or her action but the video doesn't show the tone or attitude that the other person said "No" in. It could have been a hostile attitude or a rude manner which should bother every well mannered person. To me, if that person is a stranger, I would mind my own business and just leave them alone. Some other people decide to go with drama like in this case. People react differently to the same situation.

If I understand the situation correctly. There were a group of dogs being trained in a shopping mall, this woman politely asked if her child could pat one of them, she was rudely/aggressively told, no. She objected to the rudeness, and suggested they could have been more polite or made it clearer that this event in a public place was a private one, somebody started filming her in an intimidating way, she objected to being filmed, they continues, uploaded it and incited mob harassment of her?

I hate these things. First, why record and publicize every disagreement? It’s just a form of bullying.

She was upset over the woman’s unnecessary rudeness (which continues as recording the event and posting it online).

We are all people coming from different perspectives. If someone answered "No" bluntly, to me, I would be put off as well. I try to always be kind. She has her small child with her, so that automatically puts her in protective mode. I think this is just human interaction, gone a bit sideways. I like to practice kindness in all situations, because it really helps diffuse these potentially, needless confrontations. Additionally, I do not think this woman was asking for an apology, per say, rather a turn of phrase, to soften the interaction, from blunt to kind.

Sometimes disabled people...with a dog are nasty..i have seen this. They..the disabled person sometimes...is angry the dog is being looked at and not them. Saw this.

As a service dog team, I can tell you that we get harassed on a daily basis and yes this should be on the internet and this should be a walk of shame for this woman. She is acting entitled rude better than those standing there and is completely ignoring the fact that these are working dogs for people who have disabilities that need that extra help to be able to do normal daily activities. She had no right to get upset when they said no you cannot pet them when they're clearly marked as working dogs and clearly marked with do not pet tags. It's bad enough that we fight the stereotypes we already have because of our disabilities, we need to make sure people understand that our service dog is a part of us just like a wheelchair or a cane and nobody has the right to come up and interfere with what that dog is doing for us period.
