'It's extremely difficult. He's a massive part of my life. Without him being there it's so stressful. 'Wolf just has this way of relaxing you. His being there just helps me when I'm in pain most of the time. 'It's not like they need to pay to accommodate him. It's just ridiculous.' Dr Gellar, who lives in Ramsgate, added that the issue was only flagged after he arranged a meeting with the university• Образование » Высшее образование » Высшее учебное заведение » Университет's occupational health department ahead of the academic year starting last month. He explained: 'I was just trying to do everything above board but I wish I hadn't, as health and safety got involved. 'They don't seem to really care and were saying that my condition does not really warrant an emotional support animal according to the 2010 Equality Act. 'Wolf has an ID card as an emotional support animal, but the UK does not officially recognise this yet. Two-year-old Wolf was just a puppy when he first started joining Dr Gellar in class and is a firm favourite with students, who have started a petition to support their professor 'I already had insurance• Страхование and all that and I've never had any complaints.

Second-year Megan Sanderson, who launched the campaign on Change.org, said: 'I saw Simon last Thursday and he looked really down and upset, which wasn't like him at all. 'I could tell something was wrong and it was really affecting him. 'He told me what had happened straight away. 'Wolf wouldn't hurt a fly. He's a really calm dog and is lovely to have around.' Miss Sanderson's petition has already been signed by almost 400 supporters. The 19-year-old added: 'Wolf has been a constant presence at Simon's side on campus• Образование » Высшее образование » Высшее учебное заведение » Университет » Кампус in the past year without any detrimental impact on students or staff. 'Wolf is not just a pet, he provides Simon with emotional support.' Dr Gellar shared it has been 'heartwarming' to see students fighting to overturn the ban. He said: 'I just thought "wow" as I saw the names go up and people signing. It's a really nice feeling. It just shows how much of an effect Wolf has. 'It's nice to see that people actually care.' Dr Gellar has been told he faces disciplinary action if he defies the ban. But he has now put in a complaint against the health and safety department to try to reverse the ruling.

He added: 'This is to ensure everyone's safety, with trained assistance dogs expected to be able to perform specific tasks that both support their owner and are respectful of the needs of others in our community. 'Unfortunately, Dr Gellar's dog does not meet our requirements for being a trained assistance animal. 'However, we are working with him to find solutions that will continue to support his health and wellbeing at work.'
