Justin Jordan says a Hooters refused to serve him and tried to kick him out with his licensed service dog Dallas.

A Rio Rancho man says an Albuquerque Hooters violated his rights after trying to kick him and his dog out.

He is a war veteran and is still actively serving; his dog is a licensed service animal and is protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Air Force Master Sergeant Justin Jordan has served his country all over the world for 18 years but post traumatic stress disorder began creeping up on him making every aspect of his life seem like torture.

That was until he met a specially trained English bulldog named Dallas.

"So many of our veterans are stuck in their homes, not being able to go out in public. She gives me the ability to go out in public and participate in things I haven't done in a while - go to the park with my kids," said Jordan.

Last week, Jordan wanted to see a syndicated radio host who was in town and meeting fans at the Hooters on Alameda and Coors.

All was going well until management told Jordan to leave because of his dog, Dallas.
