[nagdu] Fw: Proposed Act Regarding Service Dogs fromthe stateof Maine.

[Dudley Hanks]

Just being a Devil's Advocate here, but is it appropriate to ask a customer
to pay for a dessert a dog snags when the desserts should be out of reach
of dogs and small children?  :)

I mean, would you like to be charged for a piece of china your dog's tail
might break in a china or gift shop because your dog wagged its tail and
knocked something to the floor because the aisles are too narrow, or the
shelves are too low?

Cheers,
Dudley, with Michener

Well, I think there should be some common sense.  For instance, 
if you walk into my restaurant, and your dog snags a dessert off 
the dessert tray, I would probably tell you that you had to pay 
for the dessert.  If you didn't correct the dog, make the dog 
sit, lie down, or whatever, I'd say that your dog was not in 
control and yes, misbehaving.  If, on the other hand, you walk 
into my restaurant, your dog attempts the snatch from the dessert 
tray, you correct your dog, then hey, the dog is being a dog, but 
you're dealing with it.  The other day, my little "precious" and 
I say that in quotes, tried to jump up on to the front of a 
reception counter at my eye doctor.  The receptionist kind of 
gasped, I corrected, and made Neena sit, and all was well.  I 
don't blame the young lady for being startled.  But she could see 
that I dealt with the situation and that then Neena behaved 
herself.  I knew that she had started to misbehave, and dealt 
with it accordingly.  But this is the difference between a dog 
that's trained but still young and stupid sometimes, and me being 
fully trained to know what to do rather than some pet owner who 
never went to an obedience class, or anything.  Kind of the same 
with children, but I won't go there.  Lol.    Debby
