Army veteran kicked off North Wildwood boardwalk by police because of service dog
An Army veteran was kicked off the North Wildwood boardwalk and issued a summons Thursday because he was walking with his service dog, according to local police and a Florida news report.
Jared Goering, a Tampa resident and 19-year U.S. Army veteran, was taking his first vacation in years with his wife Sally in North Wildwood when a police officer stopped him because he was walking with his dog Navigator, he told ABC's Tampa affiliate.
The officer told Goering there were no dogs allowed on the boardwalk except guide dogs and issued him a summons. Goering showed the officer the dog's special service collar, but the officer was unapologetic, according to the report.
"He went on to say that, 'What are they doing? Giving every vet a dog now?' " Sally Goering told ABC.
Goering brought the matter to a supervisor with the department, who retrieved the summons and filed for a dismissal, according to a press release from North Wildwood Police.
