I'm not sure that is a "violation" as much as it is a curiosity. You were not banned from bringing the service animal into the builidng, you certainly did not need to respond, and you didn't indicate that you suffered any damages as a result of that question. Perhaps the office manager was making conversation or was just curious and meant no harm.
