... one has a black Belgian police dog, the other has a tiny chihuahua.
The bartender tells the first dog walker "Sorry, you can't bring your dog in here."
The first dog walker says "He's my seeing eye dog." faking it.
The bartender apologizes and serves the first dog walker a drink.
The second dog walker also orders a drink.
Again the bartender says there are no dogs allowed.
"He's also my seeing eye dog," the the second dog walker says.
"SURE,” the bartender says, “A chihuahua? C'mon."
The second dog walker says: "They gave me a chihuahua!"

Actually they fooled themselves as it was a statement and not a question.

Well, the question mark to replace the exclamation point does make the whole thing clearer but unfortunately, no funnier.

In the version I heard, they both had to leave their dogs outside. After a few belts, the guy with the Chihuahua leaves, then gasps loudly and runs back inside. "My gosh, I'm sorry, but my Chihuahua just killed your police dog!"
The other owner, aghast exclaims "Are you kidding? My dog is at least six times bigger than yours! How the hell did THAT happen?!" The first guy says...
"It got stuck in his throat!"

I think the question mark is better because it "proves" the possible point that he really was blind if he didn't know what the dog was. Or at least gave a sense of truth to his statement of a lie.
I don't usually worry about punctuation as long as the absence, or incorrect use, doesn't leave any ambiguity as to the sentence BUT that is often not the case. In this case I couldn't see any point in ! (apart from the one at the bottom) but could see more point in a ?
