Hobby Lobby violated federal law when it prevented an employee with mental health conditions from bringing her service dog into work and then fired her, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) claimed in a lawsuit filed last Friday.

According to the suit, the disabled cashier, identified as “SC”, advised her manager that she needed to bring her fully trained service dog to work to assist her with symptoms caused by PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
