An argument over an alleged therapy dog led to a disturbance at John’s Pancake House on the morning of Sept. 17. Helen Battista, who works there, said a woman had been told not to bring her small dog into the restaurant, but she sneaked it in anyway, concealing it in a bag. After she was finished eating, Ms. Battista followed her out and told her she could not return. The woman stood by the front door, yelling obscenities and refusing to leave. When Ms. Battista tried to push the front door closed, the woman kicked her in the stomach. Ms. Battista called police at 10:10 a.m. The officer spoke to the customer, who said she should be allowed to bring the dog in because it is “a therapy companion” dog, the report said. She also claimed she was the one who was pushed. Neither party wished to pursue charges.
