We've had multiple servers bring over a dog bowl of water... She sits next to my wife, under the table, not bothering anyone.
No one in the immediate area has started sneezing, or has gone into anaphylactic shock. No one has given us a dirty look or sneered at us, nor said anything, other than "cute dog"...
We've also had multiple patrons stop at our table, with a big smile on their face, asking if it would be alright to pet her...
Those are the type of people we've made friends with...
The "truth" is, don't be a jerk with your dog and you'll be fine.

Now I like that response. Yeah we have a 17 lb dog who spends most of the day in the house. When we take her out with us sometimes we get a hankering for a meal. We are not going to leave our dog in a hot car while we eat. We go somewhere that has outdoor dining and she sits quietly under the table while we eat. So far we’ve had no problem with this. Probably because she is relatively small, quiet, well behaved and the establishment knows us as frequent customers. Now if we were talking about a Great Dane, pit bull, etc I might understand the concern but a small well behaved dog under a table outside……..? Come on!
