Two months ago, I wrote about our road trip and how we hoped to travel from San Diego to Oregon and back despite my wife’s newly diagnosed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I was surprised when the comments—moving stories from people whose lives changed drastically because of CFS/ME, fibromyalgia, and more—started coming in.
I’m relieved to say Kathy made it through the trip, but she struggled a lot near the end. During her struggles, I discovered something fascinating: service dogs trained to help with this condition. And just this week, I was shocked to learn about scams involving service dogs that target patients with this condition. (By the way, Celiacs—there are even dogs trained to sniff out gluten!)
As with so many good things in life, the bad guys have found a way to ruin the reputation of service dogs. Check out this month’s scam tip as we walk through service dog scams and how to avoid them.
