MOORE'S VERSION OF THE INCIDENT, WHICH BY THE WAY IS 90%  FANTASY USED BY HIM TO TRY TO GET HIMSELF YET ANOTHER LARGE WORKERS' COMPENSATION SETTLEMENT.

According to  Moore, I never said Tammi was a Service Dog, which is another lie, and when I entered Home Depot the second time, and he said I could not come back in with Tammi and had to leave, I suddenly dropped Tammi's leash and without provocation, started to punch and hit him . Moore says at the same time Laurel jumped on his back like a monkey, wrapping her legs around his waist and began hitting him on both sides of the head as well as pulling his ears "cross-face."      Moore then goes on to say he simply walked with Laurel on his back toward the front of the store while she continued to hit him, "trying to get away from her."  According to Moore, which is true, there were at least two Home Depot employees, including his immediate supervisor, Chris Pina, within a few feet of him at this time. Despite this, Moore complains no Home Depot employee, including his supervisor,  came to his aid or even said anything. And the amazing part is, everyone just stood mute and simply watched this incident.      When the ambulance came and Laurel was taken to the hospital, Moore decided to claim injuries as a result of the "beating" we had given him. At the hospital, Moore insisted on placing Laurel and myself under "Citizens Arrest" and since the police had no choice, we were handcuffed and taken to the police station where we were photographed, fingerprinted, booked and after a couple of hours, released with paperwork telling us to appear in court a few weeks away. Needless to say, after investigation by an LAPD Detective and a review by the City Attorney, no charges were ever filed against either of us.

POOR ABUSED PERRY MOORE

Much to its credit, after an in-depth internal review of the incident including speaking to witnesses, Home Depot FIRED Moore who had been with the company for over two years and had "risen through the ranks" from a Stock Clerk to a Manager. Clearly the "Peter Principle" in action.      Next, taking a cue from the script of the killer of Leo, Moore filed a civil lawsuit against Laurel and me after he had gone to an "applicant friendly" doctor and filed a Workers' Compensation claim against Home Depot for the massive injuries to his neck, back, etc. from the beating we two Senior Citizens had inflicted on him.

A NOTE ON THE LAW AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT AND SERVICE ANIMALS

A LITTLE HISTORY ON "MR." MOORE

It seems Moore is no stranger to Workers Compensation claims. Consider these facts: 1. When Moore was working as a Census Taker for the Government, he claims he was attacked for no reason by a man whom he was going to interview for the census. 2.  In another incident,, Moore says he fell at the Padadena Theater (California) while on an acting job and received a Permanent Disability settlement of a whopping $85,000. In addition to  the settlement, he was paid Temporary Total Disability for almost a year. And guess what, the same doctor who treated him for the injuries from the Pasadena Theater "accident" is also his current treating doctor on his current Workers' Compensaton claim against Home Depot. 3.  Until 2001, Moore was a card-carrying member of "Actors Equity" for "as long as 20-years."  Moore says he has been an actor since age 12 and has appeared in Broadway theater productions, including dramas.  Oh yes, and when he applied to Home Depot for employment, he neglected to mention his "Permanent Disability" which seemed to resolve itself fully right after his settlement. 5.  In both his civil case against Home Depot, Laurel and myself, and his  Workers' Compensation claim, he is represented by the same able attorneys, The Law Offices of Robert J. Allen, Esq. Malibu, California. With Lisa Vidra, Esq. providing the hands-on representation.     I must point out here that I have no belief whatsoever that Mr. Allen's office has any clue as to the validity or invalidity of the claims of Moore. Remember, attorneys are advocates and not judges (until appointed). In our American system of laws, even someone like Moore is entitled to full legal representation.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been law since 1990. It allows for a person with a qualifying disability, including cardiac conditions, to have the assistance of a Service Animal, including a dog.        Most people are used to encountering the "Seeing Eye" dog, aka "Guide Dog," but dogs are used for other purposes such as pulling wheelchairs, carrying medications, picking up dropped objects, alerting their owner to an epileptic seasure or to the ringing of a phone, doorbell or fire alarm ("Hearing ear dogs).      A Service Dog is NOT limited to only Seeing Eye dogs. Despite the ADA being Federal law for  more than 12 years, many employers still do not educate their employees on the rights of disabled persons with service animals. And in fact, often even large companies, including Home Depot, seem to promote misinformation by refusing to change clearly improper signage even when confronted with incidents such as set out here. Giving credit where due, however, Home Depot does have a good written policy on Service Aminals; I guess no Woodland Hills Home Depot employees at work that day knew the policy since they all, including a Senior Manager (Mr. Pina) held to the "Seeing Eye" dog mantra.      Under the ADA, which covers the all 50 States, a Service Animal can occompany its owner any place the owner can go him or herself including restaurants, theaters, public transportation, including on airlines, hospitals, and most, if not all, retail establishments.
