Fair enough. But do you need a bloody pit bull as a service dog? Can't you have an animal that is less likely to harm other humans, especially kids.

Edit: My issue with pit bull is not about their reputation, since I have no way to verify that. It's more about their size and their ability to cause bodily harm.

You know, this is quite prejudicious. You think that most common service dog, labrador or german shepherd, won't cause you harm if it wanted to?

Personally I have an issue with any large dog around me and kids in public spaces.

They are faithful to their owners, not the entire humanity.

Service animals are probably the best trained dogs you'll ever meet.

Perhaps, if they genuinely are service dogs.

But no one is verifying that they are indeed service dogs since it seems businesses can't.

Also, as I said dogs are loyal to their owners not all humans.

My issue with pitbulls is they keep attacking my golden retriever.

Labs are even bigger, do they bother you?

Yeah, sometimes. Any poorly behaving (e.g. aggressive) dog can be scary, especially larger ones.
