Many people are afraid of dogs. Many more are allergic. And then there are those who just don't like stepping in what dogs may leave behind. It may even be a liability insurance issue. My office landlord has a clause prohibiting dogs which he doesn't really enforce - but he can if he needs to. A former tenant brought Rotties to work, and the place needed to be fumigated for a flea infestation that wouldn't quit when they left.
If Management was to issue an order that no dogs over 15 lbs. were allowed on premises, the folks with the bigger dogs would revolt (as would you, I'm sure, if you owned a Lab or Shepherd or something like that!). Everyone loves their beastie, and no one wants to be the object of discrimination. If you continued to bring Mia to work and someone else saw her who no longer can bring THEIR dog to work, there'd be all sorts of hard feelings and trouble. Therefore, the only logical way to handle the situation is to prohibit all dogs.
It really sucks that you can't take your pup with you. It will be hard on her now: she's used to going with you. But it's the fair (and only legal) thing to do.
It sucks BIG time, but there it is. |
I totally agree... Unfortuntely, It's the only fair solution if, in fact, someone did complain about the dogs.
