    Dog wash?
    I think @tucker hit the nail on the head. It's a service animal of some sort. The dog probably comforts the driver do to repeated log book violations, thus the driver is depressed, but having clinical depression and needing a service animal still gets a medical card.
    Wait.
    Never mind.

    I see people in Wal Mart with every type of " service " dog you can imagine, Chihuahua's, Beagle's, those other little rat dogs that are the size of guinea pigs. Once a year you see someone that is actually blind with a shepherd or a retriever.

    I was thinking I need a service hussy for my PTSD and whatever else the problem of the day is. Something along the lines of Shania Twain would do.
    A stack of hundreds always goes along way with helping it as well.

    Never thought of that and they do have too. A boxer could easily be trained as a service dog. Some strays are trained and gave to veteran's with PTSD. naturally not all strays qualify. Even if 1/100 do it's worth the effort.

    I don't care what the reason. I don't need to share a shower with someone's F dog. Can you imagine the attendant going in to muck out the shower? Going wtf? You come out instead of being clean and refreshed, with fleas & ticks?

    I love getting a wash machine just after someone washed the dog bedding.
    Good thing I don't pack heat.

    I don't see what the big deal is we been showering for years in a lot worse mess than a dog could leave behind. Besides the hospital grade clean sign will make you feel all warm and fuzzy whether A blue heeler was in there before you or the Jb Hunt party of five.
     
    striker, D.Tibbitt, dunchues and 10 others Thank this.

    I'd be worried my dog would catch some foot disease and bring it into the truck

    More and more businesses are allowing pets inside.Here there's a few gas stations and tobacco outlet allows pets.I love dogs but allowing them in the store is not a wise decision,many are allergic to the fur.
     
    Big Don Thanks this.

    Ok this therapy animal thing is getting out of hand. Yes there are service animals. Blind people, people with epolispy yes they are needed. But bringing FeeFee with you because you are depressed and they make you feel better. 20 minutes alone is not going to kill you...
