In November 2007, Wallace complained to the San Francisco Human Rights Commission about McCubbin and Merck. On November 14, 2007, the San Francisco Human Rights Commission fair housing and public accommodations compliance officer wrote to McCubbin and Merck, stating that he had spoken with Victor Wu concerning the complaint and the Animal Control hearing, and that Nemo was not an “ ‘X-Large Great Dane’ ” or vicious and dangerous, but was “ ‘in fact a laid back docile if not lazy dog’ ” who “ ‘likes getting petted.’ ” The officer stated that he was “appalled by this egregious mischaracterization of this harmless dog,” he intended to appear at the hearing to testify on Nemo’s behalf, he was “greatly disturbed that anyone would go so far as to deny or obstruct Ms. Wallace’s right as a disabled person to have a service dog as a reasonable accommodation,” and the law “very clearly affirms Ms. Wallace’s right to have Nemo.”
