Maybe Cincy Bell has a no guns or explosives on company property policy.

The vet has the law on his side. Accommodation of service dogs is not an option. Bell will have to relent.

He named his PTSD dog after something that goes boom. Hmmmm.

There’s more to this story——makes no sense.

Hey, Marine Corps Vet,

There are other jobs.

I am a veteran too. If they don’t value you being there, you can’t force it.

Quit. Get a job where you and your service are appreciated. This isn’t a power game, you don’t get to control everything just because you are a vet with a purple heart.

Move on. Simple. The reason you have a job is to earn income. Not to force your will on your employer. If you don’t like it, there are other jobs. Get one.

His mind needs to focus 100% on his work for his employer, not his problem or his dog.

Animals for emotional support of the PTSD patient are not covered by the ADA.

[Vaquero]

Depends on the job.

I worked in pharmaceuticals. Had to wear double bunny suits at times. Even more critical in facilities that make pure silicon chips. A nurse in surgery. Even a butcher. Some places you simply cannot have animals present.

Some people, including employees, fear dogs.

I have a rather strong allergy to fleas.

Telco employees must climb poles, descend into manholes, work in customer premises, and work in confined and/or dangerous environments. Are public utilities expected redesign the entire distribution architecture to allow for a particular disability? And if they did, what happens when the NEXT type of disability comes along? Another redesign?

Look at it this way - could the boss be concerned the dog might bite someone, get sued? Just saying.

Are there Muslim employees who will object to having a dog in the office? There has to be something going on.

[ronniesgal]

is this an actual service dog or an emotional support pet?
I am not thrilled with dogs being everywhere nowadays (have 3 dogs myself)

[bgill]

I see a law suit and a million dollar pay out for the company.

My wise ol' granpappy taught me that my rights end where that other fella's nose begins. There is no logic in accomodating one individual's humanity only to infringe on another's. The reality is, there are NO hypoallergenic dogs, all dogs shed (which means they leave allergens behind everywhere they go), and a great many people have pet allergies (far more than have PTSD would be my guess). Some also are fido-phobic and it makes precious little sense to frazzle one worker's nerves with a dog that's supposed to calm another's.

Being a veteran, especially one who is disabled or combat-wounded, entitles you to special treatment from the government. It DOES NOT entitle you to trample on the liberties on your fellow man.

Comes a point when this special treatment ceases being a reasonable accomodation and begins being charity.

My husband allows dogs in his office. No complaints from anyone.
