“I have the right to refuse service to anyone, says Cafe owner Regina Leiss. This apparently extends to persons with disabilities and runs counter to the ADA. In October of 2006. A disabled woman' in a wheel chair and her dog were ejected from cafe. Part of her reason, the dog was not wearing a vest. Federal Law states: "Does the dog have to wear a vest or tag to identify it as a service dog? No, there is no Federal requirement that the dog wear any special gear or identification. Also, there is no requirement that the handler carry any certification papers showing that the dog has been trained as a service dog. You may not ask the person about the nature or extent of his or her disability. How do local health and safety laws apply to service dogs? Remember that service dogs are not pets. Therefore, local laws that restrict pets from restaurants, housing, and theaters, for example, are not applicable to service dogs. A good rule of thumb is that the ADA is the law that governs matters related to access to public places and businesses for people with disabilities accompanied by their service dogs." I am appalled by the owner's behavior and ask everyone to boycott. ”
