Person’s Shopping Trip Ends With Panic And Chaos As A ‘Karen’ Once Again Proves How Entitled Parents Get
Folks with service animals often have to deal with all sorts of unneeded attention, from others just wanting to pet their dog to the constant scrutiny of so-called Karens, who have decided that it’s their task to police random people.
An autistic netizen shared their bizarre and unpleasant encounter with the type of “Karen” who really lived up to that title. They brought their service dog into a shopping center, where the aforementioned Karen began insisting that they were not only faking, but that her child would actually need the dog more.

I'm always flabbergasted when I read stories where people demand to be given someone else's dog because "their child wants the dog" or they "deserve" the dog more, etc. I'd be inclined to think it was lies/exaggeration, but when I was a kid in the 90s, I had a tuxedo cat named Kaz. He was an outdoors cat because my mom wouldn't allow pets in the house. He had a blue collar and ID tag and the whole neighborhood knew he was my cat. When my elderly neighbors moved across country, they stole him without telling me. I cried for weeks, thinking he was deád in a gutter somewhere. Then I got a letter, no return address, from our old neighbors. "Dear Crystal, so sorry, we took Kazzy with us when we moved. We just loved him so much and our dog Milo loves him too. We couldn't leave him behind." They knew he was my cat, a child's pet, and took him anyway. So, sadly, there are people out there who would take another person's pet. I hope my neighbors took good care of Kaz :(
