DELAWARE CITY, Del. (AP) — An argument about a service dog at a Delaware restaurant has been captured on video.

The News Journal in Wilmington reported Wednesday that the video shows a woman yelling that it's "nasty" to have the dog in the restaurant. Nearby, a man holds the leash of a Great Dane wearing a vest indicating it's a "PTSD service dog."

"I'm leaving because the food is nasty and there's a dog," said the woman in the video, according to CBS Philadelphia.

Others patrons responded, telling the woman it was a service dog. "He's alive because he fought for our country," one woman shouted.

"Congratulations… my husband's dad did too, what's your point?" the upset woman replied.

The three-minute video shows a small group of people shouting inside Kathy's Crab House in Delaware City. As of Wednesday, it had been watched more than 400,000 times on YouTube.

The woman in the video, Ciara Miller, told the newspaper that she'd been called racial slurs before the camera was turned on. The veteran, retired US Army Master Sgt. Bill Austin, said no one said anything racial to Miller.
