Title Woman Reveals Why She Gives Strangers Fake Name For Her Service Dog When Shopping
Summary This woman explained that she uses a fake name for her service dog for a vital reason, in a viral TikTok that gained 4.9 million views. Dakota Hatcher was shopping in Kearny, New Jersey, when a stranger asked her what her service dog's name was. She gave the stranger a fake name, then explained that she does this so her service dog doesn’t think there is a command when their name is mentioned. Dakota said, “The first few times when I shared his name ,the majority of people would get in his face and say his name over and over and that was something that couldn’t be happening. “Giving out a fake name allows my dog to not get distracted and caters to the public when they want a name.”
