[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What? They will pull out this little card with the dog's picture and name on it and say  it's a service dog. They even have a vest for the dog that reads: service dog.  Both look really fake and the shaking chihuahua doesn't look like a service dog, but since there is no way to be sure, we can't do anything but let them in.
They even feed the dog on their lap while they eat. Nobody wants to sit next to them and whoever has these tables are screwed. 2-3 tables take up because somebody want their dog with them and can't keep it hidden in the bag too long.
It's always the small dog owners though. The ones who are somehow able to hide the dog. The dog is not a pet it's an accessory of some sort.

From the DOJ Civil Rights Division citing ADA

What questions can a covered entity's employees ask to determine if a dog is a service animal?
A. In situations where it is not obvious that the dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific 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 are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person's disability.

Please use these questions for people who are trying to pass fake service dogs. The fake service dogs make it difficult for the real service dogs both for safety and for public perception.
