Hinkle's Marengo Hardware — Local services in Bennington Township

I was there with my registered service dog, he was wearing his identity vest. The sun was shining on the door and it had a glare I couldent see through. As soon as I had the door about halfway open, this other dog rushes the door growling. I thought it was going to bite me and started stepping back when it decided to go after my service dog. I grabbed the handle on my dog as as pulling hm away from the attacking did but it pursued us. I asked the people there to get control of their dog as I was controlling mine and pulling him away from their dog. My service dog was never taught to fight because he's a service dog. This snotty hateful acting and sounding woman is telling me her dog doesn't know I have an expensive dog; what she said is right but she could clearly see my dog was a service animal. The younger gentlemen who was also there was a decent man and checked on me and my dog. He was very nice. Thankfully my dog was not injured other than shook up. PEOPLE IF YOU KNOW YOUR DOG DIESNT DO WELL AROUND PEOPLE OR OTHER ANIMALS WHY IN THE NAME OF COMMON SENSE WOULD YOU PUT THAT ANIMAL IN A POSITION WHERE HE CAN ACT ON HIS AGGRESSIVE TENDENCIES, DUH! The gentlemen even told me this dog is not" socially right". Pondering...

I called ahead of time explaining what I needed. They had what I needed and it was already pulled from the shelf and waiting on me when I went in to pick up and pay. Great people and great environment. I highly recommend this place...
