When you get a post like this, which just displays the html (or other embedded code), try resaving the post, which is all I just did.
9 times out of 10 it will resolve the problem. (The 10th time there might be something which is temporarily preventing the attempt from working, so try again in 5 minutes).

It's not that uncommon for people to slap service dog tags on pets and thereby get them into places where pets are forbidden. And according to the ADA, the business can't challenge the classification, so the law, as written, actually makes it difficult to do anything about the abuse. A true service dog will sit quietly under its owner's chair and go almost unnoticed. A true service dog also usually doesn't have a second dog assisting it.
I don't know that that's what's going on here, but it's possible. And the ADA really needs to be amended to do something about service-dog abuse. I don't know what the right way is to do that, but when people like me who are disabled (I do not, however, have a service dog for my disability; I can get by without one) have to worry about fakers making life more difficult for us by taking advantage of the laws meant to benefit us, something really should be done.
Alas, with the way Congress is lately, good luck in getting them to even consider it.

yeah, sorry, getting them classified as service dogs is a dick move. Prejudices the public against the people that actually need service dogs when yours act up. They are companion dogs, not service dogs.
