With enough notoriety many restaurant are going to re-think this issue

I also would like to know the history concerning this dog??????

I also wonder if the dog was sitting at the table with the rest of the family
There seem to be a dozen or so lawyers just if Florida covering premise dog bite attacks according to a search I just did on Google. So, I am not sure how much notoriety this matter will have. It's a bit pull. I had a neighbor who was at Wal-Mart and came up to a man with a small dog. She tried to pet it and it bit her. Most reasonable people would know better than to pet a dog in certain situations. Guarding its food would be one of these.

I know very gentle pit bulls mixes who come to Doggie Doo Run Run. I still watched them before trying to pet them for the first time. Some of the smaller dogs can be even more testy than pit bulls. I have had two Chihuahua/terrier mixes and both are/were very sweet for the most part but they can still demonstrate that small dog Napoleonic attitude.
