Greg Janes of Corner Brook, says during admission at the Atlantic Trauma Centre in Nova Scotia, the executive director asked if he would like to meet another service dog staying at the centre and that’s when the trouble started. He says the dog latched on to Ace’s neck and the owner had to beat it off.
A Corner Brook man who is also a veteran was refused treatment at the Atlantic Trauma centre due to a conflict with his service dog. Greg Janes was referred to the centre by his case manager and left Newfoundland on the 9th of August. He had previously informed the centre about his service dog, Ace, and a private room was booked for them.
Janes says during admission at the centre, the executive director asked if he would like to meet another service dog staying at the centre and that’s when the trouble started. He says the dog latched on to Ace’s neck and the owner had to beat it off. Janes says Ace is okay but has acted differently since the attack. He says the place he ended up being sent to is a place for addicts, while he was there to be treated for PTSD. Janes says it wasn’t a safe place at all.
He says on August 22nd, he was supposed to be moved to the Atlantic Trauma Centre but was refused again because he had a service dog. Janes says he has spoken with a lawyer to determine what his next steps will be.
