Tanya Jackson+FollowService dog controversy shakes up Mobile courtA Mobile federal judge’s decision to order a service dog out of the courtroom has sparked debate about disability rights and courtroom rules. Army veteran Kris Allfrey, who relies on the dog for PTSD support, was told by Judge Terry Moorer that only his wife’s need for the dog was recognized. Allfrey says Dewey, the dog, helps him stay calm and focused while testifying. The judge allowed Dewey to stay for one day but insisted he be removed if the trial continued. This situation raises big questions: Should service animals always be allowed in court? Where should the line be drawn? #Pets #MobileAL #ServiceDogs54103Share
