You can tell a true service animal by how it behaves around other dogs and strangers. Service dogs are extremely well disciplined, don't bark at other dogs and mind their own business.
I've seen untold numbers of dogs with "service animal" vests on that were absolute mutts.......barking at everyone and being a major nuisance to all the bystanders.
Dogs in restaurants that bark and irritate others who are trying to have a nice meal......shouldn't be allowed.
But remember.....it's not the dog's fault for being there. It's the idiot owner's fault. I think that they should be permanently barred from any establishment where their dog has caused problems.
