Snowflake Dominique Graffeo / Dominique Strickland / ServiceDogPaws - Munchie who films herself pretending to faint in public and shouting at strangers.

[Raptorkin]

Meet Dominique Graffeo, also known as ServiceDogPaws on YouTube and Instagram.

Allegedly suffering from POTS, EDS, and PTSD, Dom's YouTube videos chronicle her "illnesses" and her service dog, Max along with her exhausted (soon-to-be ex) husband Chase and their neglected toddler Liam.

A typical ServiceDogPaws video consists of her shopping and walking around, maybe a confrontation or two where she yells at shoppers for daring to do so much as look at her service dog. But the real attraction here is the part where she lays down on the dirty floor, sets down the camera to make sure that her viewers can see, and then pretends to be unconscious for a good several minutes because of "muh POTS." Yes, there are several different videos of her doing this exact. same. thing. in different stores.

A prime example of an SDP video.

Spoiler: Husband eats raspberries while he waits for Dom to knock it off

The videos usually have clickbait titles like "Service Dog Cornered in Bathroom By Kids," "Lady Pushes Me To Get To My Service Dog," "Guy Tries To Hit My Service Dog With Buggy" when usually all that happens is some poor defenseless shopper trying to get by while this woman stands in the middle of the aisle with her service dog.

Although she disables comments on most of her videos so that her mainstream viewers aren't exposed to criticism, people have pointed out that fainting caused by POTS generally happens from standing up from a sitting position and lasts for seconds, not minutes. There's lots of other inconsistencies that I don't have the medical knowledge to be able to explain.

Dom really wants you to know how she's not like one of those people with a totally fake emotional support animal. She will gladly educate (read: harass) any of those fakers with emotional support dogs from across the room while they're trying to shop at Wal-Mart.

(sperging starts at 3:50)

But it doesn't just stop there. She's also ranted about how disabled veterans with PTSD having service dogs make it harder for people like her with "legit" problems, argued with a waitress about her emotional support dog and then RAN back inside the restaurant to demand the tip back after finding out her husband had tipped her, and is an unpleasant bitch to just about anyone she interacts with. She has MANY, MANY videos where she rants about the fakers and seems desperate to prove how she's not a faker.

SDP reaction video where she rants about disabled veterans making it harder for people with "actual" disabilities (wat).

However, the legitimacy of her service dog Max is also called into question, as she merely adopted him from a shelter and slapped on a vest the DAY she got him. Not to mention the obvious question of whether or not she actually NEEDS Max to accompany her at all times, as she's posted videos of herself dancing and walking around without any signs of lightheadedness.

Spoiler: She doesn't feel faint at all in those heels!

Her maiden name is Dominique Nicole Strickland. DOB: 09/30/1996

Lives in or around Moody, Alabama.

TL;DR: A munchie fixated on calling out other fakers with service animals, pretends to faint on camera for views.​

Save her videos in case she takes them down. Does she have any other social media pages?

You're right. And after some quick googling I found a public Facebook that appears to be from the POV of her service dog (reminiscent of Jaquie) and a private Facebook. And a Twitter.

Make sure you archive those as well.

Do you have any other suggestions on how I can improve the OP? I'm new to posting here and saw her mentioned once or twice in the Munchie thread but thought her antics were amusing enough to warrant its own thread.

 

[Iron Lady]

Alright, that was one hell of a ride, despite feeling short. Is she only active on those social media? I can almost feel she has something else. Some more background on here would be nice, to at least explain in my head how the fuck she became like this in the first place. What about her family? I wouldn't be surprised if there was someone else doing the exact same thing there. The introduction jumps straight into action, so maybe some more general details would be nice. Also, there's REALLY a lack of images in the OP. And just as @Ride said above, archive them videos. Also, why put the only image available to download lol.

I like that you went straight for the facts and whatnot, but more general info on her life is needed. There needs to be more images. Also, there's some real lack of background, considering how exceptional she is. I remember seeing a glimpse of her before, so there's definitely a thread here, it's just a matter of adding more info.

I wouldn't center justify the text. I'd include more non-video content as well, images or tweets.

Her maiden name is Dominique Strickland. DOB is 09/30/1996. Husband's Twitter was suspended. Can't tell why.

You make a very good point with adding more general info. From what I can gather, her earliest videos seem to refer to Max as a service dog mostly to help with her anxiety and PTSD (there's a very short clip of doggo reacting to her having an anxiety attack). Somewhere along the line, Dom's videos began shifting towards documenting her health issues where she finally receives her POTS diagnosis. My own theory is that she truly does have PTSD and anxiety and was able to benefit from having an emotional support animal, but found out she had mild POTS and knowing how severe it can be, she came up with these histrionics to exaggerate her symptoms because fainting in public gets more views than anxiety attacks. It's sad that she's resorted to attacking people who really do benefit from having emotional support animals despite having her own service dog for nebulous reasons. That's my take on it anyways.

ETA: there's a very good comment on /r/illnessfakers that speculates Dom behaves very much like someone with untreated bipolar. I'm on mobile but I can add that and some more pictures to the OP later.

Thanks for that. Husband is soon to be ex, as she's separated from him, made a video that she's divorcing him, and is already hanging out with new boyfriend. She claims Chase was abusive, and there's no way for me to know if this is true or not but judging by the way he acted in the videos towards his fainting wife he was neglectful at best.

their neglected toddler Liam.

It's nice that her need for asspats over her "illness" supersedes the fact that a not so steady on their feet toddler is standing in a shopping cart unsupervised.
And Dad sits there with his back turned eating.

That poor kid is so screwed.

She's also ranted about how disabled veterans with PTSD having service dogs make it harder for people like her with "legit" problems, argued with a waitress about her emotional support dog and then RAN back inside the restaurant to demand the tip back after finding out her husband had tipped her

What an absolute cunt.

If this cunt’s dog is a “real” finished service dog then why did she have to keep telling him “leave it” and giving him commands to keep his attention at the beginning?
The ESA dog was actually steadier and more focused on his/her person than this dumb hypocritical bitch’s “service dog”.

Why save her video's??
Anyway I have a question about this person's video's . I've been watching some of them for several months and I thought she was faking as soon as I saw her. Just a gut thing. Her dog is not well trained,at all. Luckily for her he is naturally a mellow guy though.
But that being said, right after she left her husband and moved in her new boyfriend (was it the same day? I mean ffs it took no time at all) I saw it somewhere that someone had said that on this dom person's instagram page she had said she was miraculously cured of her pot's. Now I don't know if that's true but if it is, is that a misrepresentation of her YouTube account?
Out of curiosity I have been watching other video's by people with POT's and their symptoms are all basically the same, but nothing like this girls. Apparently she didn't do her research very well.
Maybe she's sick from living in that pig sty she never cleans and she seems to think all meals come from fast food restaurants. That little boy is just so adorable I would love to bring him to my clean house and cook some real food for him. You never see her doing "mom things" with him. I go to her video's and leave snarky remarks that really hit home with her I can tell because she'll do something with her son that I point out to her she doesn't do. Except clean. She does not clean,EVER. I know when my children were small I cleaned like a maniac so my babies had a clean,safe home. I also kept my eye on them. No way I could spend most of my time filming myself and neglect my children the way she does her little boy. He walks around with unsafe things in his hands, climbs up and stands up on and in things that are dangerous. That sweet child must have an exhausted guardian angel. Ha-ha.
Don't ask me why this bugs me so much except that I hate liars and she's making a lot of money lying to the public and the gullible children who follow her.
Did anyone see that video she did of losing her diaphragm? Were you as disturbed as I was? I mean that is so personal and TMI. Now that I put that nice picture in your head I believe I'm done now.

Ya, good eye. The dog still is not very well obedience trained. Just basic run of the mill obedience. The dog doesn't do it

She reminds me of a slightly more functional Lena Kochman

 

[nothingtoseehere]

YouTube have kindly deleted her account. According to her instagram, she has now gone on a pre-booked lovers weekend she can no longer afford, apparently, due to the loss of her YouTube account. Also on her Instagram are the highlights of a lovely scream fest she had with the motel owner about whether or not her 'medical alert dog' was permitted in the room. She has promised to upload it to YouTube as soon as she gets that sorted out.

Have fun with that, SDP, YouTube aren't going to let you have another big account any time soon. I imagine you were deleted for your deceitful and unethical posts. Going to be hard to refute it.

Can I get a time stamp? I can't stand to sit through it all, but she seems to be complaining about registries not vets? Which would just be biased because while owner trained and privately trained service dogs are not on nor required to be on a registry, if you talk to verterans or people who got their dogs from large orginizations those individual organizations have valid registrys to verify their organization trained that dog. Sure, fake registrys exist, and sure a buisiness can't ask for papers but showing papers is perfectly valid for some dogs. Still would mean she has no idea about something she claims to be an educator about.
