I’m pretty sure Home Goods is pet friendly. Doesn’t sound like that dog was dog friendly.Guide dogs may be free, but many/most service animals are not. For example there was a ton of local fundraising to acquire a service dog for a diabetic child in town. In any event, even OWNING a dog isn’t cheap between food, vet, license, etc.. Having some sort of proof of training and identifiable vest/collar/leash/harness would be a drop in the bucket to the lifetime expense of pet ownership.
I’m sorry that your daughter and others suffer from discrimination because of their disability - I have multiple hearing impaired/deaf family members myself. It’s also unfortunate that idiots without disabilities have made it more difficult for those truly in need by taking their untrained and unneeded animals everywhere they please. I was in Homegoods just a couple of weeks ago and there were TWO ”unmarked” dogs in the store, one big pit-bull mix and one smaller Pomeranian-type. The pit-bull wanted to lunge after the other dog. The owner said he was “in training”. Okay, exactly how long are people allowed to say that?
