Not To Be Denied

I have a Seeing Eye Dog A Yellow Labrador, named Ripple. I have Hydrocephalus so I have a VP shunt. I had to go and have a CT scan done a few years ago at the local hospital. I went to get the scan at x ray and I took my dog with me. They said that she could come with me but could not sit with me while I was having the scan done. So I left her with the x ray tech. A while into my scan I hear the technician say "NO. No. Come back here." Ripple ran away from her and came into the scanning room. The tech had to come in and get her.
Then I had to have another set of x rays done right after that so we thought we would try something different. There was a big wooden chair in the hallway so we tied Ripple to it. During my other x rays I could hear this loud noise in the hallway and a bunch of people laughing. Then the x ray tech came in and told me that my dog was slowly dragging the chair down the hall to get to the room that we were in.
