It's actually: There is an exception to every rule

It means that something is a rule because it has an exception: rules always have an exception. Laws don't that's what makes a rule a rule and not a Law.

it means that if you hear a rule......say no animals in restaurants...
and your response is uh uh that can't be a rule because....and then you can think of 3 times you've seen an animal in a restaruant. it just proves the rule, because if you can only think of 3 times in all the times you've been in a restauraunt, then there MUST be a rule or more people would bring animals to restauraunts. therefore, the 3 times you've seen animals there, there must have been some exceptional reason, aka the exception to the rule.

When the rule doesn't apply ---- such as when no animals aren't allowed in a hotel --- the exception to the rule --- a service animal (such as a seeing eye dog)

In that sentence, PROVES means TESTS, its an old usage of the word proves.

It means what the person that said it meant. To the listener, it means what they accept it to mean if they choose to accept it at all.
