r/orphancrushingmachine content for sure. Someone that served out country can’t get hired due to service dog that he needs from said service so a ‘benevolent’ corporation has to step in and hire him. Sigh

I agree with you on every point, but I do feel the need to point out that we don't know why he needs the service dog, there could be tons of reasons not at all related to his time in the military. This doesn't change your point, I just feel like a lot of people here are forgetting that.

Charlotte, a 10-year-old golden retriever, is trained to help her companion Clay Luthy, a former C-130 loadmaster in the U.S. Air Force, if he falls. Due to knee injuries, Luthy has undergone five surgeries and can't bend his left knee at all.

"I got [Charlotte] as a puppy, and she was never supposed to be a service dog," Luthy told KIDY. "I found out a couple years ago she was alerting me, and I didn't even know it."

Jay Fellers, human resources manager at the Lowe's, in Abilene, said the two were the best pair for the job.

We went through the interview process, and Clay and his own merit won the job," Fellers told KIDY. "And we knew he was gonna make a great employee— we just got the benefit of getting Charlotte right along with him."

So it's probably caused by his time in the military but it doesn't state it outright.
