service animals
Trained disability companions
Service animals are animals trained to perform specific tasks for people with disabilities—guiding the blind, alerting the deaf, detecting seizures, or providing mobility assistance.
In the United States, federal law recognizes only dogs (and in limited cases, miniature horses) as service animals with public access rights.
Service animals differ from emotional support animals, which provide comfort but aren't trained for specific tasks and have fewer legal protections.
The restaurant must allow service animals.
