If you see a person in a wheelchair in a store or restaurant, do you go up to them and ask why they use a wheelchair? If you are older than five years old, I certainly hope you don't. Very young kids may not know better, but adults certainly should.
But if you wouldn't do that, why would you go up to a complete stranger and ask why they have a service dog? What would make you think a stranger wants to tell you about their disability? It's just rude.
Sure, people are curious when they see a service dog. It's really fascinating, all the things service dogs can do. I get that.
That doesn't make it your business, though. That doesn't mean it's OK to ask intrusive personal questions. So don't do it.
