Where's that "like" button. There have been many occasions, in many places, where we are out for walks and cruising with our pups (two small dachshunds) and we spontaneously decide it'd be nice to stop for lunch if we see a place with a patio. We'll ask if they allow pets on the patio, if they do we dine, if they don't we say thank you we'll check you out some other time. We certainly would never raise a stink about someone not accommodating our "special request". Lots of places have water bowls and cookies they bring out for our pups. If someone doesn't like a restaurant's patio policy I'd suggest they have a word with the manager; complaining to a waiter or on TOTV does little good. Personally, dining outside I'm much more worried about being exposed to blown dirt and pollen, flies, or even passing birds; I'm sure those present a greater threat to your plate than my pup laying 10' away in an open air environment.
