Kate says her son was traumatized by the incident and that it ruined her day.
She told her Sunrise:
Claudia is no different than a guide dog, helping Noah overcomemany of his anxiety triggers.
Kate previously told the Herald Sun: "He just strokes her softly, and it frees him from what's going on in his head."
Kate said, ``Learning how to handle a dog and being in public is hard.
"I don't want that to happen to anyone else. It's not right at all."
While the family says they were seeking help from each other during the time, Kate continued to ponder how the decision might affect other people who may be relying on a service dog.
Kate said: "Is this someone who is visually impaired or, you know, one of the men who has PTSD and they are either alone or in a cafe with their first service dog?" Imagine being a young adult going out."
Kate attempted to talk to the cafe about the incident, but she was unable to answer the phone.
