Re: Service dog discrimination What a handsome dog!! Makes me think of Rin Tin Tin.
I managed to read almost all of the responses to the article. (Didn't have to register.) I stopped when people started getting silly.
The only thing that I can figure is that there were two people (or maybe more) who were at that event with dogs. There was Maureen with Blade -- Blade having the vest on and Maureen speaking kindly to the girl who wanted to pet the dog -- and some other person with a dog -- the dog not having a vest and the person being snotty to kids. I think that's very possible. Of course, even the snotty lady shouldn't be made to feel bad about having her dog in a public place.
I haven't heard anything about a similar occurance in my area. I hope it's just an isolated incident and good for Maureen to try to make people aware of this important issue. |
