Dogs at the TN. Classic

[Trenton G.]

I don't have anything against dogs, but there are some places that they just don't belong. I work at a golf course in the summer and it is amazing how many people will try and sneak their dogs out onto the course with them. It just doesn't make sense.
Hopefully the event will go smoothly for you guys.

I like dogs, don't love them. I have one that is a part of my family. I don't love YOUR dogs. Leave them at home where they're not stressed out by all the crowds and strange people.
While it might not be allowed to ask about a service dog, I didn't see anything to prohibit me from asking about your disability if it isn't apparent.

Back up!
I won't be here to do this again. Leaving early tomorrow morning.  Safe travels everyone.

Excuse me but the whole "service" dog/cat/rat/lizard/duck/pot bellied pig/ etc. thing has gotten nuts in this country.

My friend owns a nice motel, no pets, but people come with a "service animal" and he is supposed to let them stay and stink up the room because of the ADA. or get sued?

What B.S.

The two legal questions a property manager or security can ask are about the dog. No way you can ask anyone what their disabilty is and not subject a business or operation to a legal case.

Its such a tricky deal, most restaurants will not bother even asking people anything beyond, "is that a service dog?" and anything besides "no" is good enough to keep the dog inside. Anyone that complains about a dog in a restaurant, grocery store, movie theatre, whatever is no concern because there is no liability within the law concerning their interest as they are not disabled with special legal rights or privilege.

Actually you can legally have a miniature horse as a service animal. Some "nice" people showed up at a county fair claiming their monkeys were service monkeys,,,, and got kicked out, lol.
