Phyllis Schleifer was so fragile and lonely, her doctors prescribed a
medicine that weighs three pounds. His name is Sweetie, a Chihuahua. A
prescription pet.
But the Century Village widow has had nothing but emotional turmoil
since 2008 when Sweetie moved into her no-dogs-allowed condo in
Deerfield Beach. Condo officials refused to allow the pet, though
Schleifer had a doctor's note saying she needed him as an "emotional
service animal.'' She says her condo retaliated against her and
mistreated her, and made her neighbors pay for the legal fight. Someone
she doesn't know who even pushed her down a flight of
stairs, she alleges.
