Animaladjusted

It could very well happen. We've seen deranged hive insects attack the disabled before.

Solution: teach your assistance dog to growl menacingly on cue.

If that fails, teach them the old Southern go-to: “sic ‘em.”

A relative of mine is blind and has been accosted about his guide dog in public, to the point someone was actively trying to kick the dog.

He's a big guy, so he has a GSD, not a labrador. That didn't stop the angry person.

It's worth noting that the Americans with Disabilities Act contains some criminal provisions, which include interfering with a service dog performing its duties.

Even without, what kind of deranged pond-scum excuse for a human being berates a couple of blind men minding their own business? Or anyone else minding their own business, for that matter?

As an aside, ADA service dogs must, by law, be trained to be completely non-aggressive, so someone attacking the man or his dog can reasonably expect no effective defensive actions from either of them. It's not all that dissimilar from being disarmed, actually.
