I was at the store earlier with my service dog. The woman in front of me at checkout had about $200 worth of toilet paper stacked in her cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She looked at me with an attitude and asked, \u201cWhat type of dog do you have?\u201d<\/em> But she wasn\u2019t done. She got snarky and snapped back, \u201cI knew that. What type of service?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I smiled and said, \u201cHe\u2019s a BLD.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n By that point, my dog had already started licking her hands and face, being his usual super-friendly self. She looked confused and asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s a BLD?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I leaned in and said, \u201cIt stands for Big Lickin\u2019 Dog.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cashier nearly dropped the scanner from laughing. The woman didn\u2019t say another word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was at the store earlier with my service dog.

I calmly replied, \u201cHe\u2019s my service dog.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
