Dogs with Fake IDs

First class for me thanks

Owners and trainers of service dogs are increasingly angry at pet owners who pass their animals off as service dogs by using phony credentials. The imposters go to the Internet to buy vests, ID cards, and certificates for their pooches. The deception allows their pets to live in restricted housing, accompany them inside restaurants and hotels, or fly for free in airplane cabins rather than in cargo holds. Authorities warn that people who fake a disability and/or pretend their pet is a service animal risk at least a fine, and in extreme cases, fraud charges. (This is even sleazier than faked disabled parking stickers.)

Study co-author Dr Neil Caporaso says it may seem surprising but the truth is genetics plays a big role in a lot of behaviors, such as smoking and alcohol consumption.
