So basically, anyone can bring any dog into a restaurant just by saying that it's a service dog and that it has been train to help with a disability. No proof is required. Kind of like when you get stopped by the police in your car and you say that you have a driver's license but you're not going to show it and you haven't been drinking and you're not going to take any test to prove that you are sober.
