A ‘mortified’ blind woman was told to leave the supermarket by a security guard – for bringing her guide dog.
Louise Cannon, 34, from Liverpool, had the run-in while doing her weekly shop with her 12-year-old niece, Abbie, and guide dog, Harmony.
The security guard told her ‘no dogs, get out’ and refused to listen when she desperately tried to explain it was against the law to remove her from the store.
But he refused to budge and began shouting at her to leave.
Ms Cannon, a charity worker, asked the security guard to fetch the store manager, as other customers urged him to change his mind.
The store manager eventually came over and apologised, explaining how the guard was not from the UK and unaware of the law.
She was then allowed to continue with her shop at Asda in Stonycroft but was left feeling embarrassed.
Recalling the incident, she said: ‘Everyone was looking at us and it was mortifying and it really was so embarrassing.
‘I can deal with that but what I can’t accept is to be shouted at when I am a vulnerable women with a child.
‘Security guards are supposed to protect you – not intimidate you.
‘Everyone was talking about the incident when I got to the tills and I just wanted to get out of there as quick as possible.
‘When I got outside I was shaking and I had to cross four lanes of traffic with the dog and my niece while I was in a traumatised state.’
