[nagdu] Puppy raising Question

[Julie J]

I agree with what Sarah and others have said.   Taking a puppy in training 
into a workplace is at the sole discretion of the employer. It is the human 
that has civil rights not the dog.  The dog isn't a service dog because it 
isn't trained yet.  I'm assuming the handler isn't disabled.  So what you 
are left with is a pet in a workplace, legally speaking.  Some employers are 
okay with pets, others not so much.

I hope she can get something worked out.

Julie
