She Won’t Move Her Husband’s Service Dog Out Of The House Even Though It Makes Her Niece “Uncomfortable”
This woman’s husband is disabled, but his service dog has been a major help around the house.
She got her husband a service dog about four years ago, and the pup is perfect for assisting her husband with day-to-day tasks.
Recently, though, her brother and his family, unfortunately, lost their home. So, they asked to move in with her and her husband for a few weeks until they could find another place to live.
She and her husband happily took them in without a second thought. But, her brother’s family has taken issue with one part of her home– her husband’s service dog.
More specifically, her fourteen-year-old niece started complaining about the service dog out of nowhere. Her niece claims that the dog makes her “uncomfortable”– but does not have any real reason to support that.
“It is strange. No allergies, no nothing. But my niece is just ‘uncomfortable,'” she said.
Anyway, her niece ended up telling her brother about it, which prompted her brother to ask if she could move the dog out of the house. And understandably, she said hell no.
“This dog is literally as helpful as a human being when it comes to people with disabilities. He is incredibly smart, and more importantly, he minds his own business and never bothers my niece!” she explained.
“She is just ‘uncomfortable’ with him for no reason.”

After she refused, though, her brother and sister-in-law began begging her to give in. First, they claimed that the relocation would only be temporary.
And then, they even had the nerve to suggest that her husband really does not need the dog all that much since he is home most of the time.
She just kept saying no, though, so her brother and sister-in-law decided to ask the source– her husband. But this pissed her off even more, so she ended up shutting that down immediately, and it started a huge fight.
Her sister-in-law started screaming about how she values a dog more than her own niece. Then, her brother jumped in and accused her of being unsupportive and cruel to her niece– who he claims has already been through enough.
And finally, after all of that screaming, her husband finally got involved. But his suggestion was way more selfless than she could have ever imagined.
Apparently, her husband started asking her to take him to his father’s house with the dog so he could stay there until her brother, sister-in-law, and niece moved out in a few weeks.
She was never going to let that happen, though– because the last time her husband went to his father’s house, his father called him useless and a failure.
So, ever since that argument, her brother and sister-in-law have been sulking in the guest room, and her niece has refused to speak with her.
At the same time, though, her husband has been trying to convince her to let him go stay at his father’s house in order to keep the family peaceful. She is sick of watching her husband compromise because of his disability, though.
“This man, my husband, is like this all the time! He is always willing to do what others want just to ‘keep the peace.’ You can literally cuss him out, and he will apologize to you like it was his fault!” she vented.
“He thinks he owes people for accepting him as a disabled man, which is sad.”
So now, she is stuck between a rock and a hard place. She does not want her brother, sister-in-law, and niece to be pissed off at her. Nonetheless, she does not think it is fair to either take away her husband’s service dog for the time being or make him sacrifice his dignity by bringing him to his father’s house.
Why do you think her niece is “uncomfortable” around the service dog? Do you believe that her brother’s family needs to suck it up since they are guests in her house? If you were in her shoes, what would you do in this situation?
