To believe a bitey puppy in a children's group is not an emotional support animal

Someone has brought a bitey puppy to a children's group and said that because they are training it to be an emotional support animal for a SEN child, they cannot legally be asked to keep it at home.

İs this true?

There is no official scheme here in The Uk as far as I am aware for emotional support animals.

The puppy bit someone?

İt kept nipping the kids who were sitting near it and had people's clothing in its mouth and was pulling on the clothing. A very young puppy.

The owner eventually came over and put it away in a dog pram and said that the kids were overwhelming it.

Puppies bite everything and everyone in sight, thats why they’re often called landsharks, they’re cute but a bloody nightmare.
