have any of you seen a service monkey at work or know anyone with a monkey?

i would also like to know your opinions between a monkey and a dog as far as owning them. what i am trying to say is speak freely about reasons to not get amonkey over a dog. as you can see, i have little knowledge of service monkeys..

daylilyfan, thanks so much for starting this thread. the timing of it is perfect
