When I took the train my dog went inbetween my feet under the table. At 
no time was I asked any questions.
I even had three different persons sitting at the same table visiting 
with me while we ate.

> Dear Jordan Gallacher,



> Thank you for your email.  I am sorry for any inconveniences you encountered
> while onboard.



> Because a service animal occupies its owner and must be able to be
> accommodated with the owner at a table, it is possible that there is not
> enough room at a particular dinner seating.  This is the same as if multiple
> people within a party cannot be accommodated in the car.



> Amtrak is permitted to ask passengers about the status of their service
> animal and the specific task/service it performs for its owner.  This is in
> accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.  More information about
> out policies can be found at the following link:
