dogs in outdoor resturants
Florida was the first to enact a law explicitly allowing dogs in outdoor areas of restaurants. Sheri McInvale, the former state representative who introduced the legislation, says the biggest opposition to the bill had to do with concerns over dog bites and fights, not health issues. The final bill signed into law contained a provision that restaurants had to carry a minimum level of liability insurance in order to participate in the program.
QUOTED!
"Many restaurant operators, in a tough spot with conflicting ADA restrictions, city health codes, and attitudes of dog-loving patrons, often take their chances and look the other way."
dogs who are used as site dogs are still exempt I would assume
I personally love dogs would not mind if one were to show up and be a good boy or girl while dining out on a patio somewhere ie... laying down and chillin...but would prefer not. just my opinion.
ps I love dogs!!!!
