Sample inspector narratives
It was determined that the therapy dog present at the operation bit a child on the side of their face which caused an unsafe situation. The dog's handlers allowed the children to surround the dog instead of approaching the dog two at a time.
The area the cat was in had cat litter and feces around the cage. Children had access to this area.
The litter box for the cat is in an area for children to have access to, in the infant classroom. Corrected: The director moved the litter box outside.
