Then the laws need to be changed because right now that's the law.
Yes. They do. Like anything else, when it gets pushed too far it will be reassessed.
The kid can have his dog at home and a monitor when he goes to a public indoor space, or that might just make too much sense. But since the monitor is more accurate, it would be negligent of his parents if he didn't have one all the time.
A food establishment can only ask 2 questions to see if an animal is a service animal: is the animal required because of a disability? And, what work or task has it been trained to perform? That’s it. You cannot ask about the persons disability nor can you ask for documentation such as certification for the animal, nor can you require the animal wear an identifying vest. Unfortunately, that’s it.

True. But if the dog is poorly behaved, they can eject it. A true service dog will not be disruptive, bark, eliminate on the floor, etc. It will lie on the floor in its designated place and wait until needed.
Service dogs are considered medical equipment, not pets.
Was this an actual trained certified service dog or did the owners get one of those phony vests over the internet? More and more places here are banning pets unless they bona fide service dogs. I was just in a store here and one of those phony/emotional service dogs dropped a load in the middle of a shopping aisle.
The whole service animal thing has gotten out of control. Smashburger was willing to serve you the food, they just didn't want a dog inside. And to be honest, I don't think it's sanitary to have a dog in a restaurant either.

Yes, I know this. The article says nothing about the dog being unruly.

Then the law needs to be changed. As Oldhag said, there should be a licensing requirement, similar to that which is used to obtain handicapped license plates, in which the owner is certified as needing some sort of assistance, and the dog is certified as being trained to provide that assistance. Privacy can be maintained by not needing to specify exactly what assistance is needed; only that there is some sort of medical (NOT "emotional") support needed.
