Case 35: Two Vets, Two Dogs, and a Deadlock. Please answer Discussion Questions 1, 2, 3 and 4.

1. Before doing any more research on service dogs and the ADA, think about what happened. Was this a violation of the ADA or does the store owner have rights too that confound matters in terms of providing a clear answer?

2. When Clyde said the service dog, Ellie, was disturbing his security dog Kit, could this have been construed that he thought the service dog was out of control? If he did think the service dog was out of control, does this influence his decision about removing them from his store?

3. Should Clyde have accommodated Murray in any way? If so, how?

CASE 35 Two Vets, Two Dogs, and a Deadlock When a roadside explosion in Afghanistan blew up his Humvee, Russ Murray sustained brain and back injuries as well as posttraumatic stress disorder that made it very difficult to leave his home in Watkinsville, Georgia. Getting Ellie, his service dog, made it possible for him to leave the house and the two became inseparable. When he visited Clyde's Armory Gun Shop in a nearby town, however, he was told by the owner, Andrew Clyde, that Ellie could not come in the store because she was disturb- ing the owner's security dog, Kit. Kit is a Doberman pinscher who roams freely from the store to the ware house and, according Clyde, "does not interact well with other dogs." *This case was prepared by Ann K.
