Obviously don't pet service dogs. Just to be clear. This photo was intentionally photoshopped to make it appear as though the airport was saying "Travel Advisory: when traveling don't pet dogs". As in, when in the UK never touch a dog. I thought it was funny/cutesy. I didn't intend on sparking a big debate about the ethics of petting dogs or the rules about service dogs.
Don't touch service dogs.
Pet dogs if you know them or are introduced to them.
I've been through enough airports with that doggo profile and a similar message I hadn't considered the possibility it wasn't some new way TSA was printing their "don't pet the service dogs" poster.
Don't pet dogs that are on duty, you're either gonna distract them from their jobs and dat makadem sad, or they're trained as serious doggo security and you'll be risking getting chomped
Signs are supposed to work for dense people or it's a bad sign. I know the things you said and you know the things you said but the sign is for people that don't know those things and for them it's a shit sign.
I mean it gets the point across, regardless of the service dog or a pet(which shouldn't be in the TSA security line in the first place cuz generally airports will have a designated drop off or require Kennels) , in this case it doesn't matter how dense you are, it's clear: do not pet the dogs, if the reader wants to say that it means no petting dogs on the entire trip, the airport doesn't care as long as you're not petting the dogs at the airport, and therefor not getting in the way of procedure or causing a potential safety issue for the port
aww
