Cody, the chocolate Labrador who jumps up and greets customers at the drive-through window of a Florida gas station — has been declared a health hazard and ordered to leave the premises.

I would bet that dog is healthier and better dressed than more than half the humans that flip-flop their way through that station.

This is stupid. If a service dog was to come in with its owner, would the service dog be banned? Some stores in the past had dogs that laid around and greeted customers with a wag of a tail... Now they can’t be inside with their owners!

Too many damn rules.

Thank God, the government is here to protect us! Sarcasm intended!

You can ban my dog from going to work with me when you pry him from my cold dead hands. (FMCDH)

Too bad it was a chocolate Labrador retriever. If it were a Chihuahua, he could have claimed the dog was there to kill the rats. :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Oh, No! Not Cody!

That’s it! That’s the LAST straw! I’m movin’ to Canada and I’m taking my dogs with me!

(I’m sure we can find work in a gas station up there.)

Dog germs! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq9hBEvFNlM

I could almost see banning him if fresh foods were involved but since it is all sealed , this is just an example of bureaucratic heavy handedness.

[fatnotlazy]

Aren’t the snacks, bottled soda et al. contained in sealed packages? If so, how would Cody contaminate any of them?

Methinks that the dog has more smarts than the health department bureaucrats.
