Service dog or niece’s comfort? AITA for refusing to move him?
A service dog is as helpful as a human being when it comes to people with disabilities, but what happens when their presence makes someone else uncomfortable? In this case, a woman’s niece is upset about the dog, and her brother and his family are staying with her temporarily. Despite their pleas to move the dog, the woman refuses, citing her husband’s disability and the importance of the service dog. However, tensions rise as her brother’s wife accuses her of valuing the dog over her niece’s comfort. The situation escalates as the woman’s husband gets involved and tries to convince her to let him go stay with his father to keep the peace. But is the woman really in the wrong for prioritizing her husband’s needs and the service dog? Or should she have considered her niece’s discomfort? Read on to see what people are saying about this dilemma.
