It's a shame they would ban you from meetings because of your dog. Shoot, most hospitals nowadays gladly welcome service dogs even though they keep high standards for not contaminating any thing; just have to have proof that the pooch is up to date on their shots/vaccines. Dogs are allowed on planes and into many places. That seems very silly to ban you and your dog; just down-right silly. I'm sorry you have run into this. Your dog probably behaves better than most humans.
