CMV: Service animals should have some kind of required verification, such as official papers or even a special badge or tag for their harness.

Yes, I understand that "WORKING DOG: DO NOT PET" harnesses are there, but anybody can buy those. I've seen many a fake service dog wearing such a harness--I know these were fake service dogs because these dogs barked at everything, jumped at people, and a few have tried to eat the food out of my hand at the bus plaza when I was minding my own business. It sucks that these owners make real SD owners look bad.

I've seen many videos of people's SD's being denied because they don't have any kind of paperwork. Service animals don't have that, and legally you can only ask two questions about the dog. The thing is, not a lot of people know this, and lots of them will deny entry to these handlers and even harass them.

Having actual paperwork (or something less cumbersome) would eliminate the problem of only asking two questions and the ignorance surrounding that rule, and would deter fake SD owners. The papers don't need to have the person's issue or anything. They could just have the answers to those two questions and some kind of government stamp, or even something similar to an ID with the animal's picture.

I feel like there's an obvious issue with this that I'm missing, or else this would be the standard.

Actual service animals do have paperwork certifying them as service dogs. The law makes it illegal to ask for that paperwork (Americans with Disabilities Act). People take advantage of this and claim all kinds of animals are service animals that really are not.

Also there are other type of animals that are not service animals, but are outfitted similar and have similar names like comfort animals etc. These animals are not service animals and not protected under the ADA, but people also take advantage of this.
