I apologise for my inappropriate sense of humour. I didn't mean to belittle your grief over the prospect of losing your service dog. It is a member of your family and we feel the same way about our two very affectionate cats.
I believe that these animals are a blessing from God and were created to give us much comfort when we need it. I have seen videos on Youtube about the wonderful work that service dogs do for people, especially the one that comforted, ministered to, and monitor its owner when she passed out during a seizure. It showed the dog licking her arm while she was unconscious, then licking her face to help her come round. It was wonderful to watch.
So please forgive my sense of humor and be assured that there is a sensitive and understanding guy behind it.
