I read this story back in 2016 from Abilene, Texas. Thought I would share it with you. A retired veteran needed a job. He had a service dog and nobody wanted to hire him. He got lucky when he applied at Lowe's.
Lowe's hired them both. The man and his service dog. What a great ending! Too bad others cannot see the need and do the same. A little kindness goes along way in life.
Not my photo.
Made my day to read this story. What about you?
A Lowe’s in Texas is warming hearts across the nation with its decision to hire its latest two employees: a disabled veteran and his service dog.

I feel like I have heard of this story before. I love that lowes stepped up and showed this man kindness. I bet that the man and his dog became somewhat of a mascot for that particular lowes though.

@CarolDM I think I've seen it more recently on facebook, of course I'm sure it was referring to this same story from 2016. Things on facebook go around, and stay around, for ages.

i saw this's well. lowe's 'd be pup friendly so such makes sense. sadly some folks've gone beyond service pups 'n claim chickens, pythons'n others 'd be their 'service critter'. this makes't hard fer businesses 's whilst pups 're most obedient, the others'd not be so much. ya can't discriminate so many opt to jest fergo the opportunity to give folks like this fella a chance.

That is amazing. Our Home Depot has a lot of different people working at it and that also includes a few people with service animals which I think is so great.

@CarolDM It is also great because they allow customers to come in with their dogs as well even if they are not a service animal. I love that.

I remember hearing this heartwarming story when it first made news. If only the mass media would show more stories like this, stories where people do the right thing, instead of all the negative falderal they insist on bombarding us with.
