Not with a mini, but we've brought the pony to the food court area at The Hampton's. Nothing to do with ADA, he wasn't a "comfort pony"... it just seemed like a good idea. Only one person had a problem, some kid after he ate her cheese fries.

He's also been to birthday parties.

One of my sons has an allergy to dogs and cats and he does react to people who have animal dander on their clothes. He doesn't say anything to those pet owners if he meets them at work, etc.. He just tries to move to another side of the room or leave the area. Sneezing is just one symptom of allergies. Feeling sick and congested are other less obvious symptoms. You wouldn't really know my son was having problems just by listening for sneezng. He doesn't sneeze, he just feels awful. He avoids going into homes that have dogs or cats.

These threads keep going and going, just like the Energizer Bunny.. There is no solution other then people who don't like dogs to eat somewhere else.

Birds also eat in restaurants in Hawai'i, you cover your dish when not eating.

The anti-dog people want to exert power. They used power to ban smoking starting in the early '60s. Before that few of any were claimed to be allergic to smoke. Now they want to ban smoking in people's homes. it is just a exertion of power. That is why the responses never change and are getting monotonous and are just reruns.

There are only a handful of restaurants that allow dogs on the patio. Unfortunately, anti-dog people want to exert control over 100% of eating establishments.

Live and let live.
