Dillard’s could make things right by firing the jerk responsible.

I liked his dog.

It looked like a Hungarian Vizsla.

Sounds like Dillard’s is like the Clintons: they’ve only done wrong if they get caught.

I don’t know the veteran, but I like him too. He is a fellow veteran—he more recently—I many, many years ago—but in any case, my buddy.

BTW, I sent an e-mail to Dillard headquarters expressing my opinion of them.

Wow - that IS a screen fogger = warning: have tissue in hand: ‘Brought back memories of the times I watched my little granddaughters greet daddy coming back from deployment - and visions of my dear grandson coming back next year after his 15 month deployment in the Valley of Death in the Korengal, Afghanistan’

It could more of the fact that the people who was managing that store was anti-war freaks and had disdain for the war vets, I don’t think it had anything to do with his dog at all, they just used it as a excuse.

Do the phone call or a post card - not this email. All this will do is put you on the email and catalog "forever list"

The store ought not have escorted this man out, as I believe he has every right to be there with his service animal. The training part on the escalator, however, is a little strnage to me. I have been around service animals for over ten years now. I sense that the store has a minor point in that if any training were to be done there, the store must be contacted and arrangements made, both for the safety of the veteran and that of the animal. Additionally, I have never heard of a service animal on an escalator, as it is dangerous. In all cases the service animal should be utilizing an elevator.

In sum, this is a public relations nightmare for the store and this veteran should never had been treated, in public, like this.

" Dillard’s could make things right by firing the jerk responsible " and make it known publicly that they do not hold the political liberal views of the manager. This was more about the manager being against the war in Iraq than the vet bringing his dog into the store.

Dillards was always one place I could find the clothes I wanted. What a shame.
