Are we taking the piss a bit as society here? I 100% get the need for disability dogs. But stating you need a hamster to go in a shop is a bit much, right?

My daughter has a dog classed as an emotional support animal, the difference with the dog vs without it is night and day. In the right circumstances I support it and recognise the value.

Totally get that! But I'm curious when does it not just being owning a dog? Other than differences getting on planes/trains? Does she take the dog to work? Does she need it to shop with?

Animals which are locked up more or less 24 hours a day would have more freedom in a household and cared for

My daughter cannot work due to health conditions. She needs support to leave her flat as she is unable to do so on her own for safety. It's a complex situation with many factors.

Her situation is at the higher end of the spectrum in terms of needs and help required.

Some people believe that a crystal in their pocket will protect them from danger. I can understand how a living, breathing sentient being would give someone enough support to do things they'd feel unable to alone

I have a guide dog and he is vital to me for forgetting me around, going to shops et cetera so I definitely do get it

Genuinely no idea I personally didn't see any difference however she did manage to travel me alone via train one time with having the support animal with her so maybe it's a mind thing. She did suffer from complex ptsd aswell as anxiety and depression so I used to think surely that's going be worse when people want to ask questions and stuff about the animal then again I'm no Dr and she seemed a little bit happier go out and about with the support animal so if it's not hurting people let people do as they please I say

I'm curious as hell. What happens if she was out for a long period. Usually beardies spend long periods of time basking under a heat lamp

You're correct they use the heat mat thing like snakes I'm no expert on reptiles but yeah her little bearded would essentially be cuddled into her using her body heat I stayed over 3 hours away from her had a vivarium here just for when she was coming my way.

Guide dogs are obviously known and catered for in society. Support animals are relatively new

This will likely be my eldest grandson, but unable to look after a pet sadly

I enjoy the occasional reports you get of some people in the USA who have something like an alligator as their support
