I think 99% of us are fine with properly trained service dogs for the blind and or physically handicapped. The 99% reverses when it comes to “emotional support animals”.
Oh, yeah... nicely put!
One problem is that owners are allowed to "train" their own "service" dogs. We have no way of verifying that the dog is, in fact, actually a service dog, especially when we can't ask what service they're providing.
This is what happens when people abuse a privilege. With today's "dog craze" every pet is an "emotional support" animal.
Another case of "Abuse it, lose it" and I must say about time
If someone is so unstable that they need an emotional support animal, perhape they should stay off of airplanes and take a bus.
