A quick easy test is a true service dog will sit there and pay attention to the owner. Their job is to assist the person so they are trained to ignore everything else. A normal dog will be all over the place.pepe the dog said:
There should be an official clearing house for service dogs.
I was in a Walmart one day and an older couple was pushing their two little dogs in a shopping cart. A customer challenged them and they said they were both service dogs......one for each person.
I love dogs but some dog owners are not playing with a full deck.
I heard another story of a legit service dog for an Afghanistan war vet had his service dog attacked by a fellow customers "service dog".
A trained service dog would never be aggressive in a situation like that.
Service dogs should have documentation.

If I see a dog when I walk in a place I turn around and walk back out.
Surprised that Hershel's would allow a dog in there. Kind of sad, because it has a nice laid-back vibe, and good music occasionally.
This. I have and will cease eating at any part of my meal, collect my things and immediately walk out the door if I see it at any time. I will politely explain the reason I am leaving if convenient or at least call later and explain. That is the end of that discussion.
Oh, the irony of your name. Also, I hope they prosecute for theft.
not to discount PTSD and such, but if he's going out to eat at the Republic for about 2 hours or so, does he really need the dog for those two hours... or is it more of, "Well, since I'm allowed to do it, I'm going to do it even if I would be fine for those 2 hours".australopithecus robustus said:
I have a friend who is a vet and has PTSD. He has a service dog, but there is absolutely no way to tell that he needs the dog and that the dog is a service dog. His dog is also very large and hairy.
If he walks into The Republic with that dog, they would have to let him keep the dog there, or possibly face a federal lawsuit.
That's what people who just automatically write off businesses out of ignorance to the issue need to understand.
A fine selection sir!EMY92 said:

PTSD isnt something a veteran can turn on and off for a couple of hours when convenient to patrons around him/her. id imagine that if a veteran has a service dog with them its because he/she needs the dog around them.91_Aggie said:not to discount PTSD and such, but if he's going out to eat at the Republic for about 2 hours or so, does he really need the dog for those two hours... or is it more of, "Well, since I'm allowed to do it, I'm going to do it even if I would be fine for those 2 hours".australopithecus robustus said:

It seems that if people are going out to eat with friends/family, and the service dog is not because they are blind, i.e. it's one of those I need it to cope with life, then it seems that those people would be fine without the dog for those 1 or 2 hours since they are with people they know.
To me, it just seems like MOST of the people claiming "service dogs" status are just those crazy "dog people" that think they are part of the family and just want an excuse to take their dog everywhere.
Yup. Got to admit there's a high sense of entitlement these days.GiveEmHellBill said:
I have absolutely no problem with service dogs or support dogs.
The problem is, those cases are being overshadowed by people who stuff their chihuahua into carry along bags wherever they go because "Princess doesn't like to be left alone at the house."
I'm just guessing, but I'd say that 9 out of 10 dogs you come across in restaurants and in stores are the result of owners lying about "needing" them and cannot produce any documentation about it. And if asked to produce anything, they will scream and yell that they shouldn't have to prove anything and that they will be going to Facebook to blast the establishment for discrimination.
And so no one asks them about it and Princess gets to go out to eat with the family.
