Woman confronted after dog defecates on a grocery store floor. Then she claims it’s a service animal and says, ‘Every one of you does it, too’

A viral social media video has caused debate about service animals in public. In the clip, a woman called her dog a service animal during a confrontation inside an unspecified grocery store. The clip, shared by X user Goofies Of Chicago, appears to show shoppers reacting after a dog defecated on the store floor.

The video’s caption states, “Another day, another ‘trust me, it’s a service dog.’ She walked into the store with her dog off leash, then claimed it was a service dog after it relieved itself right there in public. Real service dogs go through extensive training and are expected to be under control.”
