Responding to Comments Pt. 1

About this episode

The hosts discuss wild and rude comments received on social media regarding service dogs and address misconceptions with humor and facts.

In this episode, we’re tackling some of the wild, misinformed, and downright rude comments we’ve received on social media. From being called “Karens” to people spreading myths about service dogs and our work, we set the record straight with facts, humor, and a little bit of honesty. We break down the most common misconceptions, explain why these comments can be harmful, and share how we navigate negativity while continuing to advocate for the service dog community. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like behind the scenes of handling online criticism, this one’s for you. Tune in for myth-busting, transparency, and maybe a clapback or two.
