Specially-Abled Customer And His Service Dog Kicked Out Of McDOnald's

Texas McDonald's kicked out a specially-abled man and his service dog saying the dog smelled bad, according to reports.

Leon Masson, 59, and his service dog, Bella, were recently getting lunch from San Antonio McDonald's on Roosevelt Avenue when the manager of the outlet asked them to leave.

Masson was involved in a motorcycle accident which left him partially paralyzed. He uses a wheelchair and travels with Bella for safety reasons as she alerts him if he is about to suffer from a seizure or diabetic attack.

"Without her, I can’t be anywhere,” Masson told KABB-TV. “If I’m about to have a seizure or diabetic attack, she alerts [me] before they happen."

The manager of McDonald’s told Masson he didn’t want them there because his “animal stinks.”

Masson retorted saying Bella was a groomed and well-behaved dog.

“My dog smells? She’s very groomed. She gets a bath every week. She’s very well-behaved," he said.

However, the manager was having none of it and reportedly called the police on Masson. When the police arrived, Masson showed Bella’s identification to them to prove that she was indeed a service dog.

“The first time, police came, I showed them Bella's identification which I really didn't have to but I did to verify that she is a service animal. He explained to her it's a service animal,” KABB-TV quoted Masson as saying.

The manager said he had received complaints from several customers about the dog’s odor, forcing him to make Masson leave.

In another incident that involved McDonald's, the restaurant manager at Ohio threw a blender at a customer after the customer had hurled his order at one of the workers. The customer sustained broken cheekbones and nose.
