       NOTICE: This animal is my service animal and we are protected under these laws.

      Thank you for understanding.

If anyone wants to get topsy-turvy after you've told them all that. End the ride and put them out and send a message to Uber about the rider violating the service animal laws. Thanks for your upvote.
