She was sitting down to a meal with her five-year-old daughter at the Golden Arches in Fredrikstad, Norway when she was told to leave due to her dog.

A spokeswoman for McDonald’s, Kathrine Moe was reported by the NRK saying: ‘If this is true we regret it, for this certainly isn’t what is supposed to happen.’

Ms Asikainen explained that the incident left her embarrassed and ‘almost in tears’.

The Police on arrival rebuked the employees responsible.

You may ask how in this modern day - people can be refused entrance to any shop or restaurant when accompanied by their guide dog?

Well, frankly there is no decent answer - unless the establishment in question is a cat cafe.
