        I work at Lowes. He would have gotten fired there, too. There's a reason for the rule regardless of who we are.

        Give the Vet his job back. You can't expect a Vet trained in "Defending" what's right to just totally forget his training.

        He understand that he broke employee protocol, However to fire him is wrong. He is 70 &still needs to work. @HomeDepot should be ashamed.
