    That’s why I’ve been going to classes for the past two years disguised as a dog. I can show up, sleep on the floor, and (in a couple more years) collect my degree. Biggest difference is that I didn’t have to take out loans for the dog costume so I’m pretty happy with the investment.

      Plus I would assume a dog wouldn’t have to write a masters dissertation?

      Ruffles had overdue library books, so she never got a degree.

        Yeah okay but saying we almost gave a degree to a dog isn’t much better that what city college is saying about us.

    A few months ago i was at a supermarket, and in the line at the register there was a woman with her service dog in front of me. The cashier started to throw a fit about the dog, spouting some stuff about hygiene. The woman informed her that service dogs are explicitly allowed; the cashier just shook her head in disbelieve. I just couldn’t keep my mouth shut and told her (friendly) that a trained service dog is more hygienic and better behaved than half of her costumers.

    Sadly, noone clapped, but i hope the cashier learnt something.

        Oh thank you so much :-) I felt weird exposing myself that way, but since i know that service dogs are very well behaved i just had to say something - this poor woman getting attacked over her dog was simply unfair.

      In America we have a real problem with people claiming emotional support animals as service animals despite those being different things. In some areas it’s to the point that people assume you’re the former and just want to bring your dog everywhere

        Ok that’s simply selfish of those people. Here in central Europe I haven’t seen such behavior yet, but as they say, if the world ends, come to austria, it happens 20 years later here.

        Edit: wanted to add that the dog was clearly a real support animal, because the owner was obviously legally blind.

    Man, I wish I could have gotten my degree just for attending. Could you imagine if his human didn’t get theirs?
