NEVER do crazy.
Unless you have an absolutely iron-clad disguise.

Just goes to show that simply donning a uniform and a patch does not instill character.
And while I do believe PTSD is a real issue, I also believe it's becoming the new race card for anyone that's been deployed, whether they actually experience the two way range or not, and then steps on their dick with drugs, booze or roids after they get home. I see a lot of people using it as an excuse for their ****ed up behavior, a quick 100% paycheck so they can watch Maury all morning, and it takes away from those that actually struggle with it.
I'd do her.
This.I reject that she had "PTSD." She was just messed up in the head.
She was a "trainer". Taught other soldiers how to use PowerPoint and Photoshop. LIkely never engaged in battle (neither shot by or shot at anyone).
Good riddance. She should've offed herself before taking it out on a defenseless dog.
*****We too often focus on PTSD but there are other reasons for getting a service dog.
But your basic premise of vetting to get a service dog is correct.

I saw a women at Hanscom AFB with a dog w/a vest that said EMOTIONAL SUPPORT. HUH!
As a whole, people sucknew trend... you can buy service dog vests online and there's no actual official proof that the dog is a real service dog. That and it's kind of rude to ask to see proof. People buy these vests to they can take their dogs everywhere with them.
ADA doesn't allow you to demand proof of the dog's legitimacy so this loophole has been exploited.

She grew up in Maine.

According to her estranged husband (also from Maine), it was his dog and he puts it on the boyfriend.

They were still technically married, though estranged. Apparently NC requires a one year waiting period for a divorce.the stuff i read on various military pages on facebook had the alleged owner posting on them saying he was still in Korea and cooperating with police.
i pretty much stopped paying attention now that she's dead. the boyfriend will have his day.
the version i read from the person who claimed to be the owner read something to effect of: she was my girlfriend and i left my dog with her when i got orders to Korea. the boyfriend moves in and bam. doggy takes a dirt nap. ....
Emotional support and therapy dogs ARE NOT service dogs. And emotional and therapy dogs CAN be excluded from businesses. But people don't know this, and feel rude asking, so we're all stuck with this crap.
The only thing a service dog owner can be asked is: 1, is this animal trained to help you, and 2, how is it trained to help you.
Lately, a lot of people are just jerks who want their dann dogs everywhere to impose on the rest of us.
