By Daniel Beekman / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

A disabled Iraq War veteran who worked at Ground Zero says the Colonel treated him like trash.

Charles Hernandez, 50, a retired public school administrator, said he was refused service at a KFC in the Bronx after he brought his service dog into the fried chicken joint.

"Papi, there are no dogs allowed," an employee allegedly told the vet on Feb. 26 when he tried to order a two-piece chicken meal and fries.

Hernandez, who uses the dog to ease his post-traumatic stress disorder, is suing for $1 million in Manhattan Federal Court.

It's not like the dog would eat the crap they serve at KFC.

All customer service related positions should provide training on how to recognize and respect service animals.
