Lowe's Hires A Man Who Requires A Service Dog, Makes A Custom Vest For The Dog

June 8, 2016

It's not easy finding a job that allows you to bring your dog to work every day. But everything changed for one hopeful job-seeker.

A Canadian Lowe's store recently hired a man who was having difficulty finding a job because of a brain injury and a support dog.

Lowe's Canada took to social media to announce that it had brought on staff an inseparable pair, and had even made a custom vest.

"A recent hire is a gentleman that was having difficulty finding employment because of a brain injury and a support dog. So we did what Lowe's does best: we hired him and outfitted Blue, our customer service canine, with his very own vest!"

Blue and his owner/colleague have been making a splash at the store in Regina, Saskatchewan, where they work — but the decision to give them both a job is earning praise across the country, and for good reason.
