Patient with “Putrid” Service Dog
Loses ADA Case Against Hospital
Court issues injunction prohibiting woman
from bringing animal when seeking care

Even though the hospital had never denied service to the patient or prohibited her from bringing her service dog with her, she claimed that it had imposed unlawful conditions on her stays.
