Service dog asked to leave Wal-Mart

The big bully of big box stores is at it again…

Gina Pettrow, and her service dog Chloe were asked shopping in Wal-Mart recently when a two store managers asked them to leave. Chloe is a pit-bull and therefore, according to the managers, an “unstable and vicious breed.” Apparently the fact that Gina’s dog is a service dog, trained to help her get around, did not even enter into their decision. Despite being reminded of the fact that denying a service dog access to any public area is illegal, the managers insisted she and Chloe leave the store.

Personally I’m sick of Wal-Mart thinking they can do whatever they darn well please - whether it’s moving into an area and forcing all the Mom & Pop stores out of business, treating their employees like dirt, or denying service dogs like Chloe access to their store.
