CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A veteran said he was not allowed into a gas station in Charlotte with the service dog he has for physical injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.
He said he had to call the police just to get in.
Marine veteran Nick Cox's dog Ralphy helps stabilize him and calm him down.
Monday morning at the Circle K on Sunset Road in north Charlotte, the manager asked him and Ralphy to leave.
“He would not allow me to finish my purchase and asked me to leave the store,” Cox said.
Cox had to call the police, who told the store manager he and his dog have every right to be there.
“It made me feel very upset, a little angry, because this is the country I fought for,” Cox said.
The store manager said Cox didn't present paperwork, like a badge, for his service dog at first, and that's why he asked him to leave.
