We all have that one friend whose partner rubs us the wrong way, but what if their behavior could potentially put your life at risk? This woman found herself in such a predicament when her friend’s husband questioned her need for a service dog, Onyx, who helps her manage her severe epilepsy. The husband’s disbelief in invisible disabilities and his insistence on taking the dog for a sleepover led to a tense confrontation, ultimately resulting in the woman banning him from her home.
