Thank you Emily. We are looking for a lawyer, but (while it's obvious that that's what they fired him for) it's difficult to prove, legally.
I always try to look at everyone's side in a situation...even if it would be to my detriment, I tell it like I see it. I simply cannot see this as anything other than retaliation for him costing them money (when he couldn't work because the doctor hadn't given him clearance to do so).
He had been speaking to human resources for two weeks when they sent a letter saying he had been let go as of two days after the attack. He had to have stitches on his face and now has a scar. He couldn't move his fingers because the bites were deep on his arm. This was a big dog.
Work didn't talk to him, the dog owner didn't talk to him...nothing.
He only wants his job back. That's all.
