Okay, so to sum up:
A veteran has PTSD and uses a service dog for it
But the task it can do is to bark at people
The dog barked in a courthouse and disrupted a trial
The judge said the dog must leave due to that behavior- not just on some no dogs bias
The man thinks a written note from a doctor is enough to prove his dog is a valid service dog
The public, from the comments, is now outraged at the judge for exercising his legal right to kick out a dog who shouldn't be barking
Ta-da! We have a full blown mess. I'd love to have a discussion about this one.
