Blind customer kicked out of Seattle restaurant over guide dog; video goes viral

Paul Castle, a Seattle author and artist, detailed the alleged discrimination he faced in a May 7 Instagram video, which has over 4.5 million views, and didn’t name the restaurant where things unfolded. "I’m blind and I just got kicked out of a restaurant in Seattle . I walked in with my dog Mister Maple and immediately somebody rushed up to me and said ‘No pets allowed, only service dogs.’ "I said it’s okay, he’s a service dog," Castle explained.

"Castle claims the waiter asked him, "Do you see any other dogs in this restaurant?" Castle said he offered to bring paperwork to the waiter as proof that he was blind. Yet, Castle asserts the waiter told him if he returned to the restaurant, he would call the police. On May 9, Castle shared an update in a separate video on his Instagram page, explaining that he spoke to the manager about the incident.
