Possibly Bonnie, but you would also think that the dogs would be at least trained in basic commands before entering them into a critical situation like they were, and not be unresponsive like mention in Cobh's above post. I'd bet 10-1 that when the person from the restaurant stated that they had papers, they were looking at an ESA (Emotional Support Animals) paper and not an ADA document. And with an ESA document they are not necessarily protected by the ADA. The following website supports this.
