C.P. McKenna knows firsthand about the growing problem of fraudulent service animals. His guide dog, Finn, has been attacked six times in 21/2 years, many of them from untrained and out-of-control dogs whose owners tried to pass them off as service animals.
Fortunately, Finn sustained only minor injuries and was able to continue working. McKenna said it is often the case that a service dog has to be retired after it is attacked, even if it only suffers minor injuries, because in the future it may exhibit fear around other dogs, putting its owner in jeopardy.
