SERVICE DOG PSA
So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)
I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up
If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help
Don’t get scared, don’t get annoyed, follow the dog! If it had been an emergency situation, I could have vomited and choked, I could have hit my head, I could have had so many things happen to me. We’re going to update his training so if the first person doesn’t cooperate, he moves on, but seriously guys. If what’s-his-face could understand that lassie wanted him to go to the well, you can figure out that a dog in a vest proclaiming it a service dog wants you to follow him
He is talking about the "oh, you" format
Oh okay. Then in that case I'll explain here so as not to double-inbox them and split the thread:
Thats a popular meme in which a dog is accidentally making a very human-like expression from a humorous posture, which in combination looks like a shameful but frolicking admission of guilt. Someone placed a person making a reciprocal gesture in the sightline of that dog, appearing to gaze back while making a similarly lighthearted expression of judgement. Underlining the point is the caption, "Oh, you!" an idiom often uttered in similar scenarios between people in sitcoms.
