What do you think about getting service animal vests for non service animals [View all]

just so people can take them into public places?

I'm just sitting on a boring surveillance and am looking to stir up shit.

And no, I'm not getting a vest for my Chiweenie (half Chihuahua half Weiner dog). I can smuggle her in a small messenger bag or wear her on my shoulder, perched like some weird pirate's pet.
