Alleged Service Dogs at Desert Springs Villas

[WorldT]

This is how chill my dog was.

I was staying in a pet friendly hotel in Toronto, and I was checking in. I had my pet with me, I was checking in and paying a pet fee.

While I was in line to check in, and my dog was lying on the cold tile floor on his belly, (it was hot outside and this way a nice way to cool himself down), the elevator opened up and a small dog wearing a Service Dog Vest, on one of those slinky leashes comes barreling out, barking and straining on the lead, and runs up to my dog and bites him in the butt. Honestly I think the dog mostly got a mouth full of fur. My dog just looked at him, like are you stupid. He didn't even get up off the ground. He didn't growl. The owner ran over and picked up their service dog. Then tried blaming me for their dog's behavior, because my dog's leash was just sitting on the floor and not in my hand. I just looked at her and said, "We both know that is NO service dog", and I just moved up to the desk to check in and said nothing else.

My Therapy dog which was NOT a service dog, but better trained and behaving than their alleged Service Dog.

These people who pass off their pets as service animals are just entitled as**ole, who think that breaking rules are just fine provided if is in their benefit.

Your dog's leash was not in your hand but your dog didn't move or bark. Yet it is your fault that her dog was barking. Seriously, why are people like this? Why couldn't she just apologize and move on? Does she not know how an actual service animal would behave or her guilt was glowing red and she wanted to cover it up. I just don't get it.

We live in a country where somehow, over the past 30-40 years, the culture has changed to where many people are simply unable to acknowledge when they do something wrong or make a mistake. They always insist on finding someone else to blame and are never willing to look in the mirror.

It's maddening and illogical, but I run into it all the time. Some people simply can't apologize or take the blame, even when they are clearly in the wrong.

We are at Desert Springs Villas 1 since before the new year. The first day we saw a dog bowl outside the unit next door (outside the 2BR villa main door). Within our room we could hear barking regularly. Then were heard loud barking outside our unit and we both headed outside to find this 30+/40+ year old male with a barking dog. My husband said to him that pets are not allowed. This guy said it's a service animal. My husband asked what does the service animal do. He said for diabetes. My husband said, Bulls because we have a friend who does exactly the same thing with her pet. He said I have registration with papers, and we said so can anyone with a pet. He asked if we are going to report him to the police. Anyway, we saw this guy with his dog again, often not on leash and yapping and totally untrained several times when we went out. He checked out the day after the new year and he glared at me when he was loading up his car as I happened to be out disposing trash. He had a leash in his hand but no dog.

Now here is what got interesting. That unit has been left empty and 2 days ago, there was serious hosing, almost pressure washing noise level outside our unit. We came out later and the door was opened and they were washing the floors not only outside our units, but of that entire unit as the door was opened. I wonder if someone reported a pet in that room and he got kicked out somehow and housekeeping was now washing that unit. It was wet. Not just cleaning, but washing. Maybe they found dog poop in the room. I will never know.

What would have happen if this animal bite a person or carrier a parasite disease?

Desert Springs Villas seems to have a lot of these extortionists. It/they seem to be an L.A. thing, like 50 year old people, with make-believe, 30 year old features.

The number of alleged Service Animals at Desert Springs Villas, is beyond belief.

I have so had it with these extortionists, in particular, at Desert Springs Villas.
