[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps we can start a list of food service places that allow (non service animal) dogs inside, so the dog obsessed know where to take their dogs, and those of us that find it disgusting can stay away.

Anyone care to share and shout out some local businesses?

I'll contribute: 
Fresh Baguette in Old Town
Trader Joe's in Old Town
Harris Teeter in Old Town
Trader Joe's in Springfield
Chipotle in Potomac Yards

Inside?! we have to remember that a lot of these people and businesses don’t want to get a legal trouble by denying an “ [b]emotional support animal[/b]” so they won’t say anything. None of these places that you listed should allow dogs inside. I thought this was going to be a nice list of where dogs are welcome on patios.[/quote]

"Emotional Support Animals" are pets. They are not service animals. There is no legal right to bring your "emotional support animal" anywhere according to ADA, and ADA makes this very clear on their website.

And you CAN ask certain questions, and deny someone entry if they refuse to answer questions.

People need to stop being selfish gross princesses and bringing their doggos with them everywhere.

I completely agree that they’re not service animals and don’t belong inside. But my point stands that businesses are weary of getting into any legal issues. I think they are afraid of just asking.[/quote]

They shouldn't need to ask -- service animals should be in a vest that identifies them as such. I can't imagine anyone with a service animal leaving their house to go to the store without putting the animal's vest on. [/quote]

Vests are neither required or provided by most training organizations.  The dogs you see in vests, which you can buy on the internet, are not more likely to be service dogs than the other dogs.

The fact that you can't imagine something is an indication you either don't have knowledge or you don't have imagination.  It's not something to boast about. [/quote]

I do "have knowledge." know two people with service dogs. They always put them in the vest even though it isn't technically required (by law or by the contract signed when getting a service dog trained by an organization).

I can, of course, imagine that people who have dogs that are not service dogs, but who want to take them places dogs are not allowed, will put them in service dog harnesses. I doubt, however, that there are vast numbers of people doing this. So -- I disagree that the dogs you see in harnesses or vests that identify them as service dogs "are not more likely to be service dogs than the other dogs." They most certainly are more likely to be service dogs.

If you were to make a point about how easy it is to order a vest on the internet and how that has led to lots more folks who don't have service dogs abusing the system, I'd buy that. But that's not what you said, and that doesn't certainly doesn't = your ridiculous statement that "The dogs you see in vests, which you can buy on the internet, are not more likely to be service dogs than the other dogs."

Oh and I wasn't "boasting" nor do I lack imagination. But I think that was clear and your comment about it and need to get personal nicely identifies you as a troll. [/quote]
