Aunt Went Viral After Refusing To Give Niece Last Chance To Meet Grandmother Due To Her Service Dog, Was She Wrong?

There is nothing more regretful than missing the chance to meet our beloved ones in their last moments, especially when it is not our fault. A woman has recently shared on r/AITA a tough situation in which she couldn't say goodbye to her dying grandmother because of a 'witchy' aunt.
The original poster (OP) started telling about her health condition, and that she needed a service dog to help her control the seizures and hypoglycemia. One day, she broke down to learn that her grandmother was severely sick and was close to the end of her time.
The aunt who took care of her grandmother and informed the OP of the news suggested that she visit the grandma for the last chance.
Knowing that the OP was sick and was unable to afford any travel, the aunt even offered to pay for the flight ticket so that she could stay in the grandmother's house. But her helpful attitude quickly turned off when it came to the OP's service dog. The aunt required that the dog be left at home because she was afraid it would upset her cats.
OP then asked Redditors if she were wrong to fight for her SD. She persuaded her aunt that she heavily depended on her SD and that the trained dog would definitely know to avoid having contact with the cats. However, her aunt didn't show a sign she'd change her mindset. Take a look at the original story posted on Reddit:

It seemed too soon to conclude whether the aunt was reasonable for not wanting her cats to be disturbed by the SD or it was just her selfishness, so a wheelchair question was suggested to dig deeper into the case.

It turned out the cat would probably have fewer issues with the SD than her aunt.

Then, it seemed like the aunt was not graceful at all but was trying to manipulate the OP by putting her in a dilemma and forcing her to choose between her grandmother and the dog. In the end, you see that her reason wasn't relevant enough for what she required.

Redditors agreed and showed their sympathy with the OP. Some even gave the advice to cut off that bad energy and balance her life.
