Square 1 is in the same county. They allow dogs on the patio.

The Florida legislature passed a law a few years ago that allows dogs to frequent outdoor patios, if the restaurant wants to partake in this law. It's up to the individual restaurant.

If a resident has a problem with the law, contact your local state representative or senator and tell them to repeal the law.

We were at Longhorn Steakhouse and there was a poodle in the booth across the aisle from us. I sent an email to Longhorn Corporate and they didn't care.

That's right, and the County gave their approval.

so.....i have a pot belly pig, cute as the dickins and no shedding. If I put him in a stroller can I bring him to the local food establishments?

He's the same size as a poodle.....I never thought of bringing him to dinner with me....but now...maybe...

If someone says it's a service dog, they cannot question it.
We went to Cheesecake Factory in Tampa a few years ago. There was a man with a small dog inside.
I asked our waiter about it. He said it's a service dog. The man has been going there with his wife of 55 years, a few times a week for a long time, He lost his wife 6 months before and didn't function well without her and needed the dog to help him cope.
I said no problem.

I know we have been down this road before. I love dogs---we had one for years but have not replaced our "Candy" who passed a few years ago.

I have observed folks getting upset with just seemingly anybody calling their dog a "Service Dog". I understand but I see some real possibility of abuse. I don't like government regulation but this issue may have to go there so when a person says their dog is a "Service Dog" it has been certified as such.

IMHO a restaurant is no place for your pet----a true "Service Dog" is fine.

Maybe you should get signs made up and protest.

Block the cart path to any place the does not do what you want.

I think the City of Wildwood had to approve as well.

Unfortunately the Feds are already involved. They have approved miniature horses, pigs, monkeys, etc. I'm thinking of putting a gator on a leash and suing if I get turned away from a restaurant or store.

That's the ticket! Gator bias!

As a dog owner and dog lover, I am almost certain this one was probably flying under the radar. The gentleman that owns Belle Glade, Evans Prairie, Bonifay and Orange Blossom is very professional & I doubt would break any food service/health dept. rules.

The problem then becomes when told patrons cannot have pets in food service area, pet owners will whip out their easily bought on line service animal paperwork & vests and wave it in the Manager's face. Saw it done recently at Panera @ Lake Sumter where the woman had TWO leashed small dogs and WALKED them right into the dining room where patrons were eating. I felt sorry for the manager on duty, as she had to accept the paperwork for what it supposedly was. Two Service Dogs for one lady - Really?

Agree with earlier post. Call Belle Glade or any of his other establishments & speak with the owner. Can't remember his name... Good luck.
