[nagdu] service dog in a private practice

[Shannon Dyer]

I agree with this. If she is concerned about clients with allergies, why does she bring her dog to her office? It's very unlikely that an insurance company would comment on animals of any sort being in her office, so that part doesn't really make sense.

I guess, without knowing more about the situation, it's hard to give a fair assessment.
