[nagdu] Service Dog Forced To Ride In Taxi Trunk

[d m gina]

This has never been asked of me before, taken to a place then to leave 
the dog in the car.
I have been asked if I ever did this, and explained, as a dog is a dog, 
this one could also die in a car.
The person was happy with my answer and nothing was asked after that.
No matter what, when I go with my dog, my dog goes everywhere.
I am in question why would the person let the dog in the car if they 
didn't wish the dog in the place of visit?
No matter what it was?
Oh me something to ponder smile.
