Had to post this especially when I saw the breed of dog responsible. I don't know about y'all but I see no need to take my dog into Home Depot with me. Kangol is my roll dog and rides everywhere with me, but he sits his butt in the truck with the AC on. My son is hard enough to shop with so I really wouldn't want to have to deal with my dog in the store too.
Home Depot bans pets after vicious dog attack sends employee to hospital (The Canadian Press) - 20 hours ago
TORONTO - Starting in May, Canadian pet owners will have to leave their four-legged companions at home when they go shopping at Home Depot.
The retailer says it is banning pets at its stores across Canada after a vicious attack by a Shih Tzu sent an Ottawa-area employee to hospital last week.
Anne Riel, 39, says she was working near the doors at the Home Depot in Gloucester, east of Ottawa, when a woman came in with a Shih Tzu in her shopping cart.
Riel says she bent down slightly to pet the dog but it leapt out of the cart and bit her in the face, taking a chunk out of her nose.
Doctors had to sew Riel's skin together and reattach her left nostril. She says she will need multiple plastic surgeries before her nose looks "somewhat normal" again.
Home Depot says certified assistance dogs, such as guide dogs for the blind, will still be allowed in stores when the new policy comes into effect on May 16.
