4 Reasons Why Faking a Service Dog Is More than Just ILLEGAL
You’ve seen them around, those ladies with their little dog under their arm at the mall, or in the cart at the grocery store. If the building is not a dog-friendly facility, then they must be service dogs right? WRONG. It’s easy to tell: Service dogs should not be carried, but walk neatly beside you, service dogs do not bark (or yap) at or growl at other people, and overall maintain a calm composure. Faking a service dog is a federal crime under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which real service dogs are protected by. This criminal act does not only affect the individual, but the ENTIRE service dog community.

Lesser Known Animal Saviours and Charities Worth Donating To
Whilst my passion and love for all animals means that choosing the charities for this piece was incredibly hard, I decided to go a little bit off the beaten path and not opt for obvious choices that already have huge worldwide organisations and adverts all over the television. Instead, I went with a few independent rescuers and animal lovers that are close to my heart.

Things I Leaned Before I Was 18
Growing up, we all count on our parents to teach us. We depend on them, and sometimes, they depend on us. They teach us how to brush our teeth, how to go to the bathroom, and even if we don't realize it, they teach us how to love. They mold and shape us and we do the same, in a way, to them. Now, some of us are lucky. We are born into happy, full homes to someone who wants us, who already loves us. They have our names picked out by the first doctor visit, our nursery painted and ready before our baby shower. They wait and pray for our arrival. They will grow up feeling loved, they will grow up knowing they can do whatever they decide. But not all of us are that lucky.

Being Silenced
It was my nineteenth birthday party, I was in college, and having the time of my life. I had a ton of friends there. We were dancing, singing, and drinking the night away. He was also there, the guy I’ve been talking to for about a week. I saw him staring at me the whole time. He had told me before that wasn’t really a dancer so I didn’t mind the staring. I mean, maybe I was trying to give him a show anyways. Dule* was tall, dark, and nothing I’ve ever had before. He was older, smarter, and I loved learning things from him; sometimes he even learned things from me. It was only a week of talking but it was long enough for us to get to know each other and have a bond. As much as we bonded, that didn't stop him that night. Neither did me being so drunk that I barely remember what happened that night.
