ES dogs are trained. They are especially helpful for people suffering from PTSD. Those dogs (and other animals) are recognized by the ADA when the individual has a note from a doctor, therapist or psychiatrist stating there is a need for the animal.
On the plus side, at least she wasn't carrying a pig.

Please go to the ADA website. Read the information regarding Service Animals and Emotional/Comfort Animals. The Emotional Support Animals are not covered under ADA and are not to be brought into restaurants. Nothing to do with having a note from a professional stating there is a need for them. NOT COVERED BY ADA.
