Woman Who Screamed at Vet and His Service Dog Breaks Silence

INJOThe Delaware woman seen in a viral video this week berating and screaming at a military veteran for bringing his service dog inside a Delaware restaurant has broken her silence and is defending her behavior.

The woman, identified as Ciara Miller, told WTXF-TV she doesn’t regret how “vocal” she was in the restaurant, claiming she “reacted based on the way they reacted to me.”

Miller started shouting after she got angry at the sight of a military veteran’s PTSD service dog, a Great Dane.

“The dog's body was about the same height as the table. Basically, the butt was sitting in front of me at the table,” she told the news station.

Though no racially charged language is heard in the viral video, Miller also claimed that people started yelling “derogatory racial statements” at her.

The restaurant where the incident unfolded, Kathy's Crab House in Delaware City, responded to the ugly scene in a much more positive way.

In a statement obtained by WTXF-TV, the restaurant announced that it would be sponsoring a fundraiser to raise awareness for veterans and their service animals:

"We would like to express at this time how sorry we are over the embarrassing turn of events that occurred earlier this week in our restaurant, here in Delaware City. It is unfortunate that some of the public are not familiar with federal regulations regarding service animals, which, in fact, do permit service animals into establishments such as grocery stores, public buildings and restaurants, giving aid and comfort to their masters in their time of need.
