FRASER, Mich. (AP) -- A Detroit-area man who can't see says a restaurant eschewed requirements of federal disability law when it asked him to remove his service dog.
 The Macomb Daily (http://bit.ly/1JvFmjw ) reports 38-year-old Nathan Schneck and his wife were at Grand Azteca restaurant in Fraser, with his service dog, Husker, sitting under the table. Schneck says the manager asked him to put the golden retriever in the car because of concerns from other customers.
 Schneck says he explained that establishments serving the public must abide by the Americans with Disabilities Act and are required to let in service animals. After trying to explain, his wife says they left and had dinner elsewhere.
 Restaurant manager Ezequiel Ramos tells the newspaper he didn't fully understand federal disability law and is "very sorry" about the incident.
