While waiting in line at their local Lowe’s on Sunday, Judy and Brian Rose did a double take.
Behind them, a golden retriever sauntered by wearing one of the home improvement store’s red-and-blue employee vests.
The dog didn’t seem to be accompanied by anyone at the time. And the vest looked so . . . official.
“What’s up with the dog?” Brian Rose asked the cashier, laughing.
The Abilene, Tex., couple was told the dog belonged to a store employee, a disabled veteran who had been hired for a part-time job a couple months before.
“I’m a retired vet myself,” Brian Rose told The Washington Post. “So I was actually impressed, one, that they hired a disabled vet, but also [a vet] with a dog. Because the dog could be a liability if somebody tripped over him or if something happened to a customer . . . and they took the chance on him anyways, and I thought that’s pretty awesome.”
Around the corner, Judy Rose spotted the employee in question. The dog, Charlotte, had since returned to his side.

A disabled Air Force veteran needed a job. So Lowe’s hired him — and his service dog. https://t.co/c0oPayf3i7
