On #NationalOnlineLearningDay, take a few minutes to learn more about the experiences of #servicedog users. 🐕‍🦺 

When people misrepresent dogs as trained service dogs for their disabilities, it creates real-life consequences to beyond just service dog handlers and their #servicedogs. It also impacts the way in which our communities interact with service dog users, which could create limitations to their independence and safety.

🏬 40% of service dog users considered avoiding public places after negative encounters with fake service dogs.

🏫 43% of service dog users were refused access to a public place in the past 12 months.

🚕 56% of service dog users have been denied access to ride share and taxi services.

🙅 65% of service dog users have encountered interference - such as biting, lunging or snapping - from fraudulent service dogs in places where pets aren't allowed.

This data is based on a recent Paws For Access Report on Assistance Dog Rights, published jointly by adintl and the igdfsocial, containing survey responses from more than 1,200 service dog handlers in 24 countries around the world.
