I asked our waiter about it. He said it's a service dog. The man has been going there with his wife of 55 years, a few times a week for a long time, He lost his wife 6 months before and didn't function well without her and needed the dog to help him cope.
I said no problem.

I know we have been down this road before. I love dogs---we had one for years but have not replaced our "Candy" who passed a few years ago.
I have observed folks getting upset with just seemingly anybody calling their dog a "Service Dog". I understand but I see some real possibility of abuse. I don't like government regulation but this issue may have to go there so when a person says their dog is a "Service Dog" it has been certified as such.
IMHO a restaurant is no place for your pet----a true "Service Dog" is fine.
