We were in a WDW restaurant a few months ago sitting across from a couple with a dog. I know the manners required of a working SD and the dog was not following them. It's sad people pull things like that and make it so much harder for legitimate working animals and their handlers to receive the appropriate respect/accomodation.
This reminds me of our dinner at Crystal Palace. Our daughters SD will typically lay under the table and never move. However, we had a very very long day at MK and we were ending it with an 8:30 dinner at CP. He tends to do better when we are served. Everyone getting up and coming/going tends to unnerve him. Especially when my daugher goes with me to pick out what she would like and he is left at the table. I also think he was semi-confused with me being the handler at Dis, when typically she handles him herself.
We were seated at a table by main walkway. That gave her easy access in her power chair. He laid down, all was fine. About 1/2 way through the meal as we were all coming and going, he started to fidget. We would put him back down, but he was really misbehaving (so we thought). He was pacing about and sniffing my daughters chair. I was worried he was digging for food. I was mortified. I watched some of the workers watching him and I am *sure* they all had questions in their mind. Heck I was questioning the whole thing myself. As we left we had one last round of pictures with the characters. MK was amazingly empty it was 9:30 and the park closed at 9pm. I had never seen it so empty. We walk outside and as my daughter goes down the ramp the dog begins to bark and jump around. Ok, something is wrong. My husband goes over and blocks off our daughter, checking her temp, breathing. All seems fine. Dog continues to have a FIT, pulling to be beside her chair. He got in front of her, blocking her way, laid down and was looking up at her. I go, check her temp, monitor her breathing. I am totally baffled. We get her out of her chair, I take her to a bench on the porch at the Crystal Palace. I am feeling her, monitoring breathing. I start to think the dog is losing it.... long day, right? I take off her jacket and pull up her shirt to check her trunk tempature (maybe she is overheating or too cold?)....
HIVES. She is coated in HIVES! I begin stripping her, checking her body for bites, DH has the restaurant notify First aid (in case..... we have never had hives before). As soon as the dog knows we see her hives, he lays at my feet and goes to sleep, while we are trying to figure it all out. We end up with Medics half the restaurant staff and an epi pen. We were escorted back to our resort. She was fine. She had a reaction to something she had eaten (who knows what?). I know she is allergic to candy corn. We eat very little foods with color/flavor or much processing due to my sons food allergies. Apparently there was something on the buffett she reacted to. She has never had airway problems in relation to allergic reactions. They are typically related to illness/tempature. However, when its something new, you are careful.
I *know* the staff as well as all the guests seated around us were questioning the dog (heck I was too). He was pacing and *not* using manners. Shame on me for not taking her to the Restroom and checking her as soon as he began to stir.
The problem we have is that her dog tends to allert in different ways. She has different problems, he lets us know differently. He has landed on us at 3am on our bed. We IMMEDIATELY know something is wrong (he isn't allowed on furniture). He has barked, danced, nudged me with his nose, blocked her, blocked me, etc. Anyone else ever wish a dog could talk? Because our daughter is so young (4) and doesn't always recognize herself whats going on, she usually doesn't tell us or know. We just have to do our best guessing sometimes.
Sorry to the OP for hijackng your post. That commend just reminded me of our recent situation at Disney. I know people do lie about dogs, it happens. I also know we could have been the ones being questioned on various occassions, thanks to our daughters very smart dog!
really that is one of my big points...what PROOF do you want? I am all fired up over this and if asked to show PROOF I will not hesitate to call the sheriffs office. I did finally speak with someone at the front desk at OKW who told me that they would not ask me for any papers but after being told they would by multiple people, I won't be surprised but I will refuse to give in! This is my son and I know his his rights. I did speak with a very nice man in Tallahasee's Dept. of public heath, Disabilities section who is mailing me some pamphletes with local laws as well as ADA. He also said that he got a similar call yesterday and that he would bring it up to his supervisor that Disney is telling people this.
I won't give him the pleasure of telling his supervisor.... I would be thrilled to tell them myself.
