There are plenty of people in this world that have completely understandable reasons for needing service dogs. The moment that anyone else gets it into their heads that it's okay to start weaving lies about their fake service dogs, they can end up making it that much harder for the people that really need their service dogs with them while they're out and about. This guy wasn't having any of his sister-in-law's dishonest antics at all. So, he decided to kick her out of the party. Honestly, she set herself up for that outcome. For a similar post check out this Tumblr post that calls out fake service dogs for impacting true service dogs handlers.

    Font - AITA for making my SIL drive five hours home to drop off her so-called service dog? With the upcoming holiday weekend, my wife's family decided to take a new approach after being stuck in traffic every year. Seeing as my wife and I live in the largest house with the most bedrooms, they would visit us again, but they'd take a couple of extra days off to come early and beat the traffic. Over then next couple of days, we're going to have about 20 people arriving at various times to enjoy the

    Font - Now, my SIL is a huge dog lover. She takes her dog everywhere. She got a fake Service Dog jacket for the dog so she could take it into restaurants, shopping malls, and other places that don't allow dogs. On the other hand, I detest dogs. I don't want them near me, and even less in my house. Before my SIL came, I was extremely clear: no dog. Get a dog sitter. Put a bowl of food and water on the floor and play Homeward Bound on repeat. I don't care what you do, but do not bring your dog to

    Font - A couple of hours ago at about 7pm, SIL rolled up, opened the passenger side door to her SUV (which she bought solely to give more space to her dog), and out ran old Lassie, ready to run and the place. She actually had the audacity to play it off as ignorance despite my multiple text messages to her saying not to bring her dog. When I told her she couldn't bring her dog inside, she apologetically smiled and said "Sorry, sitter canceled!" and all over There was no sitter. I just said no. T

    Font - My wife, who has spent the last 23 years of her life enabling her sister, agreed that they could stay just one night. Everyone else was agreeing and my SIL brightened up at this idea, but I know her personality enough to know she's going to turn one night into "I'll do it after breakfast," and that into "oops, had a glass of wine, can't drive now!" I put my foot down and said no. My SIL left for a night drive back home so she could figure out the dog situation, and everyone is mad at me.

    Font - NTA I love, love love my dog but I wouldn't dream of bringing her to someone else's house for a long weekend even if she was invited. If I couldn't find a sitter, she gets too anxious at the kennel because I tried boarding her, l'd stay home. Sadly people like your sister make a mockery out of service dogs and cause undue scrutiny for people who have trained dogs because they need them to function. Your sister drives lots of places all times of the day.. if she didn't want to drive back,

    Font - NTA. Sometimes people just need to learn a hard lesson. Unfortunately, I do think the cost of your decision was far too high. She played the kind of hand where the only way she would lose was if you both lost. But I salute you for this on multiple levels. When her family gets upset, just say this "Look I'm sorry, but she could have texted, she could have called, but she showed up with the dog knowing full well I didn't want it in my house thinking she could get away with it, and you all w

    Font - Nta. An emotional support dog is not a service dog. She is abusing the system and it is because of people like her that make it extremely difficult for people who have genuine service dogs. Not only that, it's selfish people like her that make the adoption process of getting a service dog for people who really need them extremely difficult. G Reply 93

So it's reasonable for you not to want it around. And you warned her! If you had given in, she never would have believed any other warnings.
