I am hearing impaired and I do a bit of signing and I have a service dog. Today, my friend and I were made fun of and mocked by a woman in a restaurant where we went to dine. This kind of stuff just amazes me. My friend told her the dog was a service dog and to leave us alone. Did not stop her one bit! Did the whole tRump hand gesture stuff at me pretending to do ASL. I am shocked not only at her, but the people with her sat silently there while she did this and just stared at the table where they were seated.
I do have to say that about 99% of the people I see while out with my service dog -- both the public and employees of places where we go -- are absolutely wonderful. I have been able to interact with young children and show them what service dogs are all about while mine goes through her paces. I am lucky to have her and feel badly some feel that it is OK to mock a handicap and to try to interfere with a service dog while she was on duty.
