Not to mention if a server or person who handles food pets the dog or cat, then there is a possible health issue..We love dogs and have always had them, but we would never bring a dog to a restaurant where another diner might be bothered. I consider that a real discourtesy.

Go ahead bring the cat, but first call the restaurant and ask if they are pussy friendly.

I think there are bigger health issues going on than petting a dog.
