Morning Ramble Part Deux: Dog Scams

So, yeah...Sorry about the two-parter...

Where was I? Right....

Dogs that use fake Canine Helper Credentials to get into bars.

So there's this dog that comes into my bar from time to time. With his owner, of course, but who cares about her? Anyway, it's a big fluffy dog, pretty cute actually who's name is "Puppy" (even though he's obviously at least 8... Newsflash, you're not fooling anyone!)

The first time he came in, I had to obviously go over and inform owner chick that no animals were allowed in the bar, as she CLEARLY wasn't blind or disabled. She informed me, that Puppy was in fact a "Helper Dog", and preceded to flash me some white card, that I guess were his papers... I'm just a simple minded bartender, with little to no knowledge of Dog Credentials (shocker!). AND he was wearing some kind of saddle bag, so I just said ok, and continued to serve owner chick 4 Coronas.

Since the day that Puppy came into my life, I've started to question what kind of scam he's trying to pull on me... He's been back at least 4 times, and since my knowledge of dog credentials hasn't increased any, I've continued to serve him and owner chick without question (His drink of choice is Dasani bottled water). The thing is, I haven't witnessed Puppy HELP with anything. He pretty much sprawls across the entire floor, doesn't seem to have the best obedience training and even jumps up when I go greet him.. Either he's a faker, or simply the worst assistance dog in the world...

Either way, I've come to two conclusions

1) I'm a sucker for dogs wearing backpacks

2) Owner chick is a freaking genius, and if I ever get a dog, I'm totally doing this...


Thanks for reading, have a great day, and don't forget to wear sunglasses inside, so people know that you're one of the cool kids....
