Texas Lowe's hires retired vet and his service dog, now an internet 'celebrity'

After suffering a leg injury while enlisted in the Air Force, finding work became a challenge for a Texas man and his service dog until he walked into a Lowe's Home Improvement store.  Clay Luthy was working as a handyman, doing his best to support his three children, when he was shopping the Abilene store and decided to submit a job application, Lowe's spokeswoman Karen Cobb told mySA.com, adding Luthy's injuries prevented him from bending his knee.  Human Resources Manager Jay Fellers said he was unaware the 35-year-old veteran had a service dog until he showed up for an interview, but that wasn't an issue "at all." Luthy was a top candidate during the interview process, eventually landed the job and has been a "great asset" to the store for the past three months, Fellers added."(Luthy and Charlotte) provide a big sense of pride and are a morale booster for our employees," Fellers said.
