The idea of a brochure sounds interesting - I made up little cards for my daughter for these situations that can be so overwhelming...unfortunately she does not remember she has them when overwhelmed. At the end of the day, it is always worth it for the wonderful things in which our Service Dog does for our daughter :-) We also know how tiring it can be to contantly be a good service dog ambassador.

I've had to learn to ignore the people blatantly talking to each other about me and my dog, because if I turned and answered them every time I'd never get anywhere. If they talk TO me of course I will answer, but I try to keep it short. I know one woman who created a personal service dog brochure, with info about service dogs, what they can do, how to act around them, and some quick info on what her dog specifically does. She passes them out when people ask questions, so she doesn't constantly have to be going over and over the same things. I know what you mean about constantly being a service dog ambassador.
