Sorry! Have to agree with Ted & Melinda.
If you want/need to walk your dog take it to the park or better yet a dog park.
If someone is in physical need of a service dog by all means they are welcome
in, but the emotional support thing, in my opinion, is just a way to take little Fifi or Brutus everywhere. If they are needed they should be wearing the vest with some sort of tag indicating they are indeed a service dog. Which by the way if they are certified service animal the owner wouldn't allow the petting by everyone walking by, the animals have a job to do.
Haven't seen/read whether this virus can be spread by animals, but to me I wouldn't know why it couldn't. I'm not petting anyone elses pet, but that's just me.
