People have freedom of speech

As someone afraid of dogs, the 
service dog 
law gets on my nerves
But I don't have any rights
When owners don't follow the leash Law , I can't do anything about it
Tattle to whom?
It's a dog eat dog world 
Many owners take their dogs off leash
They don't care
It's illegal
Leash Law
The owner acts like they have never done anything wrong before in their lives

Yes, people have freedom of speech - but that doesn't mean I have to like everything they say.
People can't ask for documentation because there is no official documentation or anywhere to legally register a service dog or anything like that. I probably don't like this fact much more than you do, people trying to pass off untrained pet dogs as service dogs makes things a whole lot harder for those of us with fully-trained, legitimate service dogs. I think dogs should need to be able to pass some sort of test to prove they can behave themselves in public (for the record, mine did before he could graduate from "in training" to a "real" service dog, he was just startled this time - humans are just as capable of being startled by something and shouting) and have some sort of proof that they have done so.
For what it's worth, I'm as respectful as I possibly can be toward others. If I knew someone was afraid of my service dog, I would at least make sure to keep him as far away as possible and try to keep him from making sudden movements that may startle the person, because they have just as much of a right to be there and be able to function as I do. And the only times my dog has ever been off his leash are inside the house, in a fenced yard, or at the fenced-in dog park. It seems like typically, "real" service dog owners are a lot more responsible and conscious of how their dog may affect others than many pet-dog owners, based on my interactions with and observations of both. That's actually one of the things that would tip me off that someone's "service dog" is probably just a pet dog they want to bring with them, is if they clearly aren't trying to be considerate about it.

Sometimes, I could just lean back, close my eyes and everything just gradually fades;
Then eventually, I felt and see nothing.. Literally! And I don't mean I close my eyes and seeing blank black as nothing.
As in things just... I dunno, there's no concepts, there's no time, I don't sense my constantly sensing body, there was no space, maybe no gravity or a concept of left and right -- it was spinny-spinny without the dizziness. It was fun. 
And it almost felt like I had a really, really good nap when it only passed less than half an hour or so!

I hppe you don't mind me asking, but in which ways do you find your dog helps you? I know it maybe many ways. I just find it interesting.
I used to work on the railways where we often had blind people with their guide dogs. One gentleman who I sometimes spoke to had a new dog and the dog was young... He said he sometimes had a few hairy moments when the dog occasionally forgot his duties... Like if he saw a squirrel or somwthing like that! Yes, dogs are dogs! Lovely things.

Mostly he helps with anxiety and sensory issues. His tasks mostly involve giving me deep pressure, like putting a paw or the front of his body on my lap. And just having him there helps me stay much calmer in public. He really helps increase my ability to handle everyday outings like going to the store or a restaurant without shutting down or melting down because of my social anxiety and sensory issues. But he also tends to draw attention, I get lots of comments about how cute he is, or just "oh, look at the dog!"s. And yeah, one time we had to take Merlin out of a restaurant because he saw a cat through a window and couldn't control himself. But that and yesterday are the only times I can think of where he actually barked while he was on duty in the three years or so I've had him.

.. Hopefully I changed my sleep schedule this time... By being awake for a mere 3 hour. 
Then following a meal, coffee, and lots of sunlight after waking up at day.
Couldn't do the fasting method. Couldn't skip my entire body's sleep schedule. I already tried this.

A chiropractor is similar to a physical therapist.
A chiropractor is not similar to a medical doctor.
