Snickers is my hearing dog and goes everywhere with me. When I drove truck, she stayed in it when I was inside customers ware house and only once did she come out at a pesticide plant. The person there chided me for doing that to her, but there were no ill effects with Snickers. No, I would never do that again.

Snickers had one accident in a classroom at our university, a very messy poop. It was between two classes and in the same classroom for both classes. The class moved to another room while I cleaned up the mess and got security over there to block the room and wait for the cleaners to come. To date, I haven't received a cleaning bill, although the school had every right to give me one. Disability Services could have gotten wind of this and barred Snickers from class, but it never happened. So glad no problems arose from it.

Dogs do get sick from time to time and it can't be helped. Aggresive dogs in the workplace, however, are another story. We can all deal with the shedding, drooling and dribbled water, but not the unfriendly dog.
