John Dignard: Manager

McDonald's Dept: "Your dog stinks and everybody is writing letters to me," John Dignard says he was told by the manager of the McDonald's in Wetaskiwin, Alta. "I'm tired of it and I want you to leave.", according to CBC. Dignard, who says he goes to the McDonald's regularly for coffee, showed the manager a government-issued certification for the dog and told him that he could not be denied service and an Alberta man with a permanent brain injury says a manager kicked him out of a McDonald's restaurant on Monday because he claimed that customers were complaining about his service dog. Dignard suffered a permanent brain injury after he was struck by a car when he was five years old. He relies on his dog, Eve, to aid him with his sense of direction and to overcome confusion and short-term memory lapses. Dignard's service dog Eve sits beside her owner on Wednesday.
