Hi All!

I see a therapist who happens to have a therapy dog. 
Her dog Cody does not get along with other dogs, which means that I can not bring Jada to therapy with me.
But one day I forgot my cane at home and my therapist told me that Cody would not be there that day.When I asked my therapist if I could bring Jada in with me, She said no.
I was confused even more by the next statement of that she has some clients who are allergic to dogs, and the endurance company she uses doesn’t like dogs in her office. 

Should I have fought this or was I right to let it go?
Unfortunately this is now a mute point since i have had to start doing phone sessions with my therapist, but just curiosity of mine wanting to ask opinions.

Thanks,
