A Marine Corps veteran says he was told to leave a Texas restaurant because he brought his dog in training to be certified as his service animal.

“I take my dog a lot of places, so I don’t really look for permission anymore because I’ve never had any problems,” Don Brown, of Spring Texas, told Marine Corps Times on Thursday. “I’ve had one or two people make a comment, but I tell him it’s a service dog and that’s the end of it.”

But on Wednesday when Brown took his Doberman, Truman, to the River Side Inn Marina in Channelview, Texas, a waitress said she needed to check to see if she could seat him because dogs are not allowed in the restaurant.

There are laws against this.

I see by the basin machine that channel view is near Houston. Is that Wendy Davis's district? If so, no surprises there. :banghead:
