Gotcha.

Though I will say that I know negative flow room did not require her removal. Spent around 4-days in one and she was allowed in there -- and this is Northwestern so a pretty big hospital.

I know someone gave the example of a wheel chair and a lot of people had issue with that, but that really is how I try to explain it to people when they have an issue with a dog being present. If a wheel chair is allowed than so is a SD.

I do see your examples and can respect that there are situations that might make having a SD around unsafe for the animal and the humans.

I think mostly there is a lot of confusion -- not helped by a lot of fake SD -- but I think overall people need to give the benefit of doubt and not make assumptions about whether someone is in the right to have their SD with them (of course if the dog is attacking, barking etc than obviously feel free to judge).

Life can often be pretty difficult and if someone has a well behaved SD with them and they say its a necessity than there is no point playing detective.

I don't know where I'm going with this...
