A business may ask someone entering with a dog 2 questions. 1. Is this a service dog? If they say no, then out they go! If they say yes, then question 2 is: How is this dog trained to assist you? Answers such as "I have a letter for him", "You can't ask that" "He protects me" or "She comforts me are unacceptable. You may not ask to see any sort of paperwork, ask what the person's disability is, ask them to demonstrate their dog's tasks. These are the laws for fully-trained service dogs. State laws regarding service dogs in training vary by state and are not covered by the ADA.
(*EDIT BY MEMBER RW*)
From the 2011 ADA service animal revision, word for word
When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. Staff cannot ask about the person's disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task.

You don't approach a service dog. If you want to interact with a service dog you need to approach the handler and ask if it is ok for you to visit with their dog. They may or may not give permission.
As a restaurant owner how do you know the dog is a service dog or just a pet?
The first clue is the animal's demeanor and behavior. A service animal should be very well behaved and obedient. A dog who wanders around at the end of the leash aimlessly probably isn't a service animal. If you still aren't certain, you can ask the animal's owner if it is a service dog. Businesses are permitted to ask whether an animal is a service animal, and what tasks the animal is trained to perform that the human handler cannot do for themselves. The business is not, however, permitted to ask for information about the specific nature of the person's disability or other invasive questions. If an animal is not trained to perform tasks to mitigate the handler's disability, then it isn't a service animal under the ADA. Guide dogs usually wear a special leather harness that helps them to guide their owner. In addition to the harness, the owner will also use a leash for controlling and directing the dog. Most other types of service animal wear some sort of marking such as a vest or cape, or special gear, like a harness. However, not all service dogs will wear special markings. Under the ADA, they aren't required to be marked. Unfortunately, the presence or absence of a cape or gear alone doesn't make it clear whether or not an animal is really a service animal. Unfortunately there are unscrupulous people who buy gear over the Internet to try to pass their pets off as service animals. Sadly, this is also true with certification. Anyone can forge their own certification or purchase fake certification over the Internet for their pets. Many states have begun taking steps to prosecute those who falsely claim their pets as service animals with stiff fines and jail time.

No. Why would someone ask this??
Is a business owner allowed to ask for proof that animal is a service animal?
There are two questions a business owner may ask. 1. is that a service animal? and 2. what specific task does that service animal provide for your disabilities? If you think the animal is not a service animal, by means of growling, barking, urinating, and or pooping on the floor, or the handler not maintaining control of the animal, then you have two choices available to you. You may request the service animal team to leave the store and/or you may call the police to assist in the removal of the unruly dog/or mini horse as pursuant to ADA laws that solely permit these two animals to be service animals. The law does not require any certification and/or vests or markings asserting the dog or mini horse is a service animal. The only way to verify is the two questions permitted by law. The only person that can ask detailed questions regarding disability is the investigating police officer. If you try to ask more than the two questions this may result in legal issues.. if you have any questions I know of a facility Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs (GAMSD) a 501(c)(3) non-profit that is working with local and Florida State legislators to pass a service animal bill to assist the disabled in here Florida. the Federal ADA laws are constant. Thanks.

Are you permitted to refuse a trip to a customer with a Service Animal?
In the Untied States (and many other counties), no.Under the Americans with Disabilities Act service animals (defined specifically as a dog) and miniature horses must be allowed in any place where the public are allowed, including restaurants, hotels, amusement parks, etc as long as the animal is well-behaved and does not present a danger.Further more, when it is not obvious that the person requires a service animal, you may only ask two questions, by law:Is the animal required because of a disability?What task is the animal trained to perform?You may not ask for proof the animal is trained (e.g. a certification or "ID"), nor may you ask what disability the person has or ask other questions concerning the persons disability.Only service animals (again, defined specifically as a dog) and miniature horses are protected.

What should you do when you've lost your dog and it has no tags?
Call the local animal control center, or dog pound, and see if they have it. If they dont then you should hang up some signs. Most of the time dogs return to there home anyway.Something else you can try...If you have a "home town" radio station, call them and ask if anyone has reported a found dog. If not, ask if they do "lost dog" public service announcements.If they say no to that, ask if they'll take your name and number and let you know if someone else does call to say they found a dog. Most stations, especially in small towns, will try to help reunite owners with lost pets.
