‘It was so refreshing’: Costco employee pleasantly surprises service dog handler when he asks exactly what he is supposed to ask and nothing more

We love a happy ending for anyone with a dog, especially when it's a working dog with an important job—like a service animal! These dogs are not just their hooman's best friend, but also a prescribed medical device. They are trained to help them through medical emergency and even alert beforehand to prevent any accidents. This means you will see these important doggos in all kinds of places that you wouldn't usually see a dog. Just to be clear, they are not emotional support animals and they are definitely not just a pet. They are thoroughly trained and if you see a dog sniffing around, barking, jumping, etc. then it is most likely not a service animal.

Remember how awesome Costco is? Like when they refused to raise the price of their hotdogs? Well, they're getting praise again in a service animal thread on Reddit after a service dog handler was pleasantly surprised by an employee's reaction to their service dog.

It's quite a simple task employees are supposed to do when they are inquiring about a service animal. And yet, there are many stories where a huge blow out and embarrassing situation happens instead. HERE is what you should actually be seeing from employees when they come in contact with a service animal inside of an establishment that doesn't allow dogs.
