The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently filed a lawsuit against CRST International, alleging that the trucking company refused to hire a military veteran because of his request to drive with a service dog.

According to the complaint filed March 2 in a Florida federal court, CRST rescinded its offer to hire Leon Laferriere in June 2015 after he made several requests to let him break the company’s “no pet” policy and let him use a service dog as an accommodation for his post-traumatic stress disorder and mood disorder.

"No Pet" policies are going to go by the wayside. No reason to have them anymore, since any mutt can get certified and be called a "service" dog for "emotional" support.

I'm mixed as to whether someone with PTSD severe enough to need a service animal should be driving a truck for a living.
 
people are getting to carried away with this service dog BS there finding ever little excuse to have fido with them. **** if the wind blows the wrong way it's i gotta have my service dog:stare1:
