Inappropriate Service Dog Handler Behavior

First of all, it is VERY inappropriate and unprofessional to feed your service dog off a plate in a restaurant. Since this person is in the limelight, it sets a very bad example of service dog teams and bad publicity --this is not appropriate or condoned behavior in the service dog community.

As much as I like to be supportive of other service dog teams, I cannot turn a blind eye to this type of behavior. It is abhorrent.
