Family asks public to respect their Service Dog

[Catherine]

A family with two sons has a young service dog for their 13 year old son. The boy has seizure activity and the dog is able to smell changes and give an alert. 
This alert is very important to the boy's safety. The dog is very cute and in spite of his service vest and warning labels, everyone wants to pet him and talk to him.
This totally distracts the dog from his job.
People also question why they have a dog. Medic alert dogs are important to the safety of people who have seizures. The person with the seizures can look healthy,
but still be at serious risk. The dog is wearing a service vest and they have proper documentation.

All the family asks is to be left in peace. Leave the dog alone. Leave all service dogs alone.
Don't embarrass the family by questioning them. They don't want everyone looking at them when they just want to do ordinary things like other people.
Don't directly interfere or disturb the son with the seizure activity. It makes things worse if you upset him.

Lately there have been way to many incidents with people and their service dogs. This family is one of many to be bothered by people who don't respect the important work of service dogs.  There is an actual Service Dog Month. It was September.

If we are only just hearing about it in November, it is not being well advertised.
