I'm with you on this, but no one challenges anyone. We all have to be politically correct today. Most of these service dogs are probably a fraud. The managers don't know the law well enough to challenge a customer. I believe the owners of the restaurants need to spell it out clearly to the staff what is legal and what is not.

That could be a lawsuit.
Here is one of the paragraphs......

When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. Staff cannot ask about the person’s disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task.

Bonny you are 100% correct. The ADA specifically states that the staff can only ask the two questions you stated. They can't ask for any documentation for the service animal. Folks may not agree with the ADA regulations for a variety of reasons but these regs are very specific and very clear.

I don't think many would disagree with ADA and legitimate service animals being allowed. But the lame position the business owner is placed in by not being allowed to verify legitimacy of the "service" animal empowers the LIARS all the more.

If I visit Europe should I bring antibiotics? I always heard it was germy there. And France is supposedly filled with slovenly people who bathe less than twice per day? Oh, the horror!

Oh my achin' brain!!!! Now the dogs are SMOKING too???? Again, who is fair in making an absolute determination that this pad walker is sneaky enough to get the vest and be a trickster? Again, my pal, BRUTUS, has paperwork that is stamped by a local government agency, a laminated, numbered, single,dual-purpose triplicate card indicating that he can get inside of ANYWHERE and get a-half of a double decaffeinated half-caf with a twist of lemon in his dish; at the table. LET BRUTUS SWING.
Thank you for opening up and chatting. I still say that the initial suspect here has sworn documentation that she is human.
Some 2 years ago, Brutus came to Miami with us as I was sworn in at the British Consulate, hence securing my dual citizenship. The U.K. representative asked for Brutus to pose with her for a pic. Done and Done. I was wearing pink and a tiara. Fa-boo.
Let my creatures chill.
Nobody beheaded us. BTW.... I have a HC Parking Permit as I have had 7, now heading for #'s 8 & 9 spine fusions and lammies. I try not to use it but sometimes, YIKES. Bad pain.
I love animals. All animals. Smiling out loud!

I am not a dog fancier and don't like them in restaurants, with the exception of TRUE service dogs. "Comfort Dogs" are not recognized as service dogs and as such are not allowed in restaurants. I would guess that the staff at Toojay's wouldn't say anything for fear of getting sued, even though the suit would be tossed out as being without merit. Now that I know, I'll say something the next time!!

How is the color of the dog and the gender of the owner relevant? Would it have been more acceptable to you if it been a man called "Bubba" and his brown mutt?

How totally UnPC are your comments.
