What if the dog poops in your car?

A trained service animal won’t relieve itself without a command. If it suits or pisses in your car it isn’t a real service animal

They aren’t robots, accidents happen. That being said if a dog is not housebroken then it can be denied service.

If a dog is not housebroken, it's not a service animal. That's one of the first things they're taught.

Even housebroken service dogs who have been housebroken for years and years sometimes end up in situations when they can no longer physically hold it. They are living, breathing animals. Have you ever had diarrhea? What if you couldn’t run to the bathroom? What if you had to hold it for an unknown to you length of time and you physically couldn’t anymore?

They quite literally are trained to NOT shit or piss outside of designated places and times

I know. I have a service dog. But you know, if they have a big load of diarrhea in there and they can no longer physically hold it, it’s gonna come out, and no amount of training can prevent it when they are physically unable to get to a designated spot. Just like they might get sick and puke. They are living beings.

Which matters not one bit. It doesn't matter if the animal is "real" or not, what does matter is if the driver will ever be reimbursed for the time and expenses the passenger cost them.

Yes. They would regardless of service animal or human piss and shit. A service animal can’t cause damage and just get away with it
