I disliked him staring at us and would always make him go into another room. Not that I disliked him, but I dislike eating in front of anybody who is also not eating, or not waiting on their food to be served.

Dogs sense of smell is so good that I would think that, if I were a dog, in a resturant, with all those awesome smells around me, and I just have to sit and watch others eat, It would be horrible for me, as a dog.

So why put your beloved pet thru this. why not just leave your pet st home, where he knows the food smells and has a potential for bite of that smell.

Personnally, I think this is cruel and unusual punishment.

Our dog lies at our feet when we eat. Doesn't beg, borrow, or steal food. Doesn't stare at us. Nor have any of our dogs done any such thing. They were never fed from anywhere but their bowl so don't expect or even want the dinner table food. Training--never had to banish a dog to another room.

He just wants to be in whatever room we're in.

We have never thought to take our pets to a restaurant. While it might please us to do so, there may be some allergic, or sometime just plain afraid of dogs. My father in law was bitten by a dog, and partly loss use of his arm, and while he got better as time went on he always felt uneasy and would leave a place of business when certain dogs were present.

Since I have no idea who I am sitting next to I would never want to make anyone uncomfortable just for my own pleasure. But that’s just us always thinking of how i might effect others.

I have had a dog all my life and come from a family of 4 veterinarians and can honestly say there is no place for a dog or any animal at a restaurant, if you are that bad of shape you can’t eat with taking a dog be courteous of other patrons and order take-out, all eating establishments should just no, or they will end up with just a bunch of dogs and not good paying customers.......

:faint: Take 30 seconds and go to ebay - type in "service dog vests". For a couple of bucks you can get a vest delivered to your door and printed up cards to pass out to people that question your honesty that tells them the law says they can't ask. :ohdear:

Up next, what movie theaters and doctor offices allow you to bring Precious inside with you.

We can only hope.

Thread hopelessly off topic. OP asked for names of pet-friendly restaurants, not a discussion of pet-friendly policy.

Thread closed.
