Jim agreed but said it was too bad the restaurant didn't allow pets. Damian said "I have an idea, just follow my lead". Damian walked up to the greeter and asked for a booth.

I need to be with him.” Skeptically, the waitress asks "your Chihuahua is a guide dog?" to which Jim replies in astonishment "WHAT????? They gave me a Chihuahua????".
