I just don't get it.  Why do people think that they can do this kind of
stuff?  If someone does not like dogs, that's fine, just keep it to
themselves!  I hope that she gets a proper fine or something for this.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minneapolis police say a local woman accused of kicking a
seeing-eye dog in the jaw has been cited for animal cruelty.

Police Sgt. Jesse Garcia says the unprovoked incident represents cruelty not
only to the 6-year-old black Labrador but to the dog's blind owner.

53-year-old Lynnette Lijewski says she and her service dog, Brook, were in a
store Thursday. She says she felt the dog's legs buckle and then Brook
righted herself.

As she checked Brook, a girl told her a gray-haired woman just kicked the
dog.

Lijewski alerted store staff, who called police. Officers reviewed store
video and arrested the 46-year-old Minneapolis woman nearby.

Brook appeared to be OK on Friday, but Lijewski planned to have a vet take a
look at her.
