Every time I see a person with a service dog, I always want to ask a person in a friendly way as what they use the dog for (I don't do that). I wish there was a simple friendly way to ask people that, but know its not polite.
I always wish a person would simply respond by saying, "I have epilepsy, they can detect a seizure coming and give me time to be ready for it". My response would be I've had epilepsy all my life and have friends in epilepsy support groups on the internet who have seizure response dogs. To begin a friendly conversation. I know people have service dogs for so many different health reasons.
My question is to people who have a seizure response dog. Is there a way to word a question to you by a person you don't even know that would sound friendly in a way its not rude, but maybe caring or sounding very friendly ect...interested in both you and your dog? I'm sure you know what I mean, simply talking to a person and not sounding rude? A person out in a store, a mall, shopping center, park ect...
Or, is it simply rude to say anything to anybody using service dog because they want you to maybe pretend the dog isn't there and treat them NORMAL (I hate that word)! You know what I mean. Take care, keep a smile on your face!
