On 072511 at ~ 8.00 PM my daughter decided to take her 1 year old Maltipoo dog for a walk. Her dog is well trained, friendly and weighs only 9 LBS. She decided to stop at the Dollar General store at Savannah GA located at the Georgetown to buy a roll of tape. She did carry her small puppy on her lap inside the store. The store manager told her that no dogs were allowed and asked her to leave. My daughter said that she would call her father (me) so that I could come and pick up the dog so she could finish her shopping. When my daughter started dialing the phone inside the store the manager called the police. We live only 1-2 minutes drive from the store. I told my daughter that I would come to pick her up. She was standing outside the store when I arrived (2 minutes after she called), I arrived at the same time than the police. The store manager asked the police to give my daughter a criminal tresspassing warning and wanted her to be banned from all Dollar General stores and permanently. Police asked my daughter to sign the paper which she did. Our family has supported our local small business owners and have visited this store as long as it has been open without incidents. However, we feel that the actions the manager took by calling the police were extreme and unnecessary, eventhough she might have had the legal rights to do that. Our family will not shop in any of the Dollar general stores after having my daughtyer treated in so rude manner.
