In this video, I'm sharing my experience of grocery shopping with my service dog. This trip is a great example of how much unwanted attention we (& other SD teams) get from people who stop us to ask questions - something that I've come to expect but don't enjoy. It takes a lot of energy and patience to explain things to people while trying to stay on track for a shopping trip. I hope this video will help raise awareness and remind people that it's important to be respectful of service dog handlers and not interrupt them while they are out and about. I'd also like to point out that most interactions are with nice, well-meaning people but even well-meaning people are draining when you are disabled & just trying to get groceries.
