Employer wants to “pretend” her dog is a service dog to get through airport… what do I do?
Basically what the title says. I am the assistant to a human who owns a medium size dog, roughly 25 lbs. she wants to fly regularly on a 5 hour flight (2ish x a month) and wants to travel with her dog, but not in a carrier and doesn’t want to buy him a seat. Because of this, she wants to “pretend” her dog is a service dog, because “they can only ask if he does a task”. She says she is going to say she has autism and he helps calm her down.
This makes me feel exceptionally icky. I am not comfortable with any of it, and have told her so. She says people “do it all the time” (do they?) and that I’m being ridiculous.
Is there anyone I can possibly report this to without her knowing? I am busy not comfortable with lying, and I would be traveling with her so I really don’t want to be involved in this situation- but also I really like this job and can’t quit any time soon.
Please help 😭
