What exactly did I twist? You didn't say anything I disagree with.
I agree that legitimate service dogs should not behave like that, and that training should be done to avoid that. My point is that watching someone in a 5 minute, stressful window of their life is not a fair assesment of whether it's a legitimate SD or not.
I never said that the dogs in question were, in fact, service dogs. I said that such judgement should be reserved until more information is put onto the table (is this a one time thing? Is the dog sick? etc etc)
I mean really. Would you want passerby's to judge your legitimacy if your dog had a sudden atypical behavior arise? All they saw is that one moment, does that one moment make you not a legitimate SD owner?
EDIT:
And I know that there are vests for SDIT's. I never said otherwise. Case in point, my own dog...
