20-year-old college roommate's refusal of student's emotional support dog in their shared space sparks accusations of insensitivity: 'I lost my temper'

Don't get us wrong, animal fam, by all means, go and register your dog as an emotional support animal. But don't get it twisted - they can be great emotional support, but they will never be a service dog. A service dog is an animal that goes through extensive training, usually from the time they were born, to provide a critical, life-saving service. Just because your dog makes you happy when you're feeling sad does not make them equal to a service dog. Service dogs work, like really work.

So when this college student complained to her roommates about not wanting their friend to allow their emotional support dog to run around their shared dorm, we get it. We're tired of people claiming their dogs are crucial to their well-being. We love our doggo. We would bring her with us everywhere if we could. But we can't, and that's the world we live in, and everyone should learn to accept it instead of trying to bend the rules in their favor. Read through the thread below for the full story. Enjoy!

Living with roommates can be a tricky experience, and living in a college dorm is usually an experience you just have to suffer through. We thought our college dorm experience was subpar, but this, this takes the cake. These girls (we're assuming they're all girls because it's a multi-person room and we've never heard of a co-ed dorm room) are just terrible.

Now, the kind thing to do would be to have compassion for the person you are living with, but apparently, not everyone chooses the right thing to do all the time.
