If a restaurant's rules allow pets in the patio area, then they have approved it.

Most people follow the rules. Also, I have never seen a dog in the patio areas ever cause a problem.

Maybe we should be more like Europe in regards to pets in restaurants. I worked in Europe and dogs are allowed to sit at the table on a chair. They are so well trained that they never make a move towards anything on the table and sit patiently waiting for their owners never making a sound.

I'm with the earlier person's comment to "Just Chill". Don't raise your blood pressure, Relax a little.
