Another Perfect Example Of Why We Have Service Dog Access Problems

Posted on | December 4, 2009 | No Comments

I said I was gonna concentrate on positive stuff, but no way can I pass this one up.

“Pink poodle, owner get apology from Denny’s”

Yeah, maybe the dog is legit, and, yeah, service dogs come in all shapes and sizes, and, no, the ADA doesn’t say you can’t have a poodle and dye it pink.

But, seriously, c’mon – we gotta be smarter than this.

Remember this one next time somebody starts giving you the lecture about how there’s really no problem on the service dog end of the public access issue and it’s all businesses’ fault.
