A blind customer is considering a discrimination claim against a shop in Wales he says asked him to leave because he had his guide dog with him.
Andy Terry, 61, from Stoke-on-Trent, was visiting Fairbourne, Gwynedd, on Friday with his guide dog Flame.
Mr Terry said he was asked to leave the village mini mart by the owner who told him dogs were banned.
Charity Guide Dogs Cymru said the owner had offered no apology. The shop has been contacted by the BBC for comment.
Mr Terry, who is registered blind because of a rare genetic disorder, said he had visited the shop while on holiday.
Quote MessageHe told me there was a clear notice on the door saying 'no dogs under any circumstances'. I explained Flame was a guide dog and showed him a card I carry to prove that, but he told me it was private property and we would have to leave."

Crewe Alexandra manager David Artell says a visit from League Two promotion favourites Mansfield Town tomorrow will give his team an ideal test.
Crewe won 2-1 at Stevenage on the opening day of last season and Artell admitted he would love a similar result against the Stags as he starts his first full season in charge.
Quote MessageOn the one hand they're a good barometer in terms of where you're at just generally, whether that's fitness, ability, but at the same time they're a bit false. There's a lot of emphasis placed on the first game because the build-up is far longer. It's important but it's not the be all and end all

Stafford Borough Council says it won't be holding a referendum on bringing back services to County Hospital, after a local resident started a petition calling for a vote on the issue.
This is the second time Geoff Small has campaigned unsuccessfully for a referendum, calling for the return of 24-hour A&E to the site and full maternity, paediatrics and acute surgery services, lost since 2011.
Mr Small addressed the borough council's cabinet last nigh, externalt but leader Patrick Farrington told him holding a referendum wouldn't have the power to bring services back.
He said if it could, he'd happily spend double the £170,000 it would cost to hold the vote. The petition will now be referred to Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
