We had graduation this weekend, and one of our graduates uses a service dog. (NOT an emotional support dog.)
It wore a little graduation cap.
And when she went to accept her diploma, he shook his head and the hat flew off and the whole crowd gave a collective "awwww." He was hands down the most popular thing about the ceremony. People kept taking pics of him, and he just wagged his little tail.
That thread gave me a headache. I don't care if it's regional, it's wrong and it sounds dumb. That college-educated service dog would not like it, either. Snobby, academic dog.
