I retweeted the allergy article because one of the issues I’ve come up with as a service dog issue is allergies. I’ve never heard of a allergic reaction to dogs every make anyone die or become seriously ill. Allergies to dogs is due to an allergy to the dander. While Dulce is a shedding dog, and sheds quite a bit, I do keep her brushed out and clean. I would get that a someone coming into my work area would have some issues if they were close to her, touched her, or touched her bedding. I also would get that someone would have issues in my car or house.
I had someone at a store ask me to stay in one area because someone who worked there was allergic – fine, I just left and went to another branch a mile away.
Problem solved.
However, that’s not always an option.
The good news is that the majority of public places know how to deal with service dogs and it isn’t an issue.
