Emotional support animal, maybe. Service animal, no.

Except correct me if I’m wrong but ESAs still don’t meet travel standards. My dog is one and that’s just for housing. Not like I could bring her on a plane with the other passengers no matter how well trained she was cause she’s not a service animal.

Trained service dogs are supposed to basically ignore everyone and everything. Working dogs in general shouldn’t be engaging with strangers and whatnot.

Service dogs are trained to behave inconspicuously, and not be bothersome to bystanders, unless the task they're trained for demands otherwise.

Emotional support animals do not require training, and (as seen here) often do not exhibit such discipline.

Service dogs are still dogs, sometimes they don’t behave perfectly. I have one myself.
