A service animal is different than a pet and this is important for everyone to remember.

Welcome to another post today that we'll be covering from the AITA thread on Reddit. Ultimately, if you don't know, this thread is a great place for people to come get unbiased opinions from people on the internet.

They tell us about the situation and then Reddit users decide the fate in the comments, which makes for a pretty interesting chain of events. With this being said, today we are going over a post that was submitted to someone who is telling us a story about how they didn't attend an event due to the fact that the host uninvited "pets" which supposedly included OP's service dog.

So OP wants to know if she's wrong for this because obviously, she needs her dog and it isn't the same thing as bringing a pet to the event, but she didn't get that. The chain of events got worse and OP just is looking for advice on the whole situation.

So if you're interested in looking at what happened in this post and what people had to say about it then you'll want to stay tuned. We're going to dive in and take a look at the whole story that was posted by OP and the best comments as well.

OP start off her post by talking about this friend get together that they have often that her friend sets up for them.

This is when OP tried telling her friend that this wasn't the same type of situation and that her dog is a service dog, not a pet.

OP then even told her not to invite her to events if this is how it is going to be but her friend thinks she's wrong.

At the end she gives us an edit to thank everyone and tell us what her plan of action is after this whole situation and post.

The people in the comments were not okay with what OP's friend did and they made that very clear in the comments by comparing it to other situation.

Then people had a few questions to clear the air about what was going on and OP responded to a few, but some went unanswered.

People did give her advice on how to handle the situation and we think that they had some good advice.

This person even told OP that she should invite her friend to therapy because it sounds like they need it as well.

The biggest problem was her friend's response on the whole situation. Ultimately, she just sounded like a bad friend.

Many people agreed with OP in saying that they too probably wouldn't attend if something like this happened to them.

People had a lot to say but ultimately they said that OP was NTA and that she had a right to say what she said. Her friend seems to not be on the same page as her and we agree that she was out of line on what she was saying about OP's service dog.

What do you think? What should OP do?
