Don't be surprised if HD changes their policy.

Their policy is no dogs, just the local store never enforced it.

The elderly lady that owns the dog is fighting the fine and says there isn't a muzzle small enough for her dog.

I wonder if the employee asked if she could pet the dog, or just leaned over the top of it and tried to pet it without permission? I hate when people automatically assume it's their right to pet any dog they come in contact with.

Yikes!

Our HD doesn't allow dogs, only SDs of course and sometimes dogs in the therapy training program (which is organized w/ HD, you can't just walk up and say you have a therapy dog).

In this neck of the woods dogs are allowed in a lot of Home Depots.

"Riel said she hopes her experience shows the public that it's not just certain kinds of dogs that can become aggressive."

"Please, please understand it's not only the pit bulls and German shepherds and the big dogs that are nasty," she said. "The small dogs can be just as nasty and that's what's deceiving."

I am glad that she said this.

I believe she just leaned and assumed.

I think more places should be like that.

i too wonder if she actually asked if she could pet the dog or if she just leaned over and started petting. Wouldnt blame the dog at all if she didnt ask permission.

i'm glad she did as well but you know that part will be completely glossed over.
