Service dogs are often a lifeline for their handlers, providing them with the extra support they need to complete their daily tasks. But after spending two years on a waiting list for an assistance animal, one woman in her 40s has been made to "feel bad" about soon welcoming one into her home.
She explained how her future service dog is named Bobby, which just so happens to be her mum's nickname. Taking to Reddit, she said: "My mum's name is Bobbie (Barbara). She is livid and insists I rename the dog something else.
"I explained the dog has been named and trained as Bobby for two years, I just can't start calling him something else because [it'll negatively impact] his training. But my mum insists it's disrespectful to her."
