First of all dogs don't go around peeing and pooing all the time and doubt that would be an issue at an outdoor patio restaurant.

Second, pit bulls aren't born bad they are made that way by bad owners!!!

Pitbull is just an obvious example of a potentially unruly dog. Pick the breed or even a mutt.

More of an example of how some people push the envelope!

What???

I wish they would shut this thread down. It's gotten ridiculous. They've shut other threads down for less.

The people who don't like dogs will imagine/suggest dogs going to restaurants and doing all sorts of unsavory things, from behavior to elimination, and have the restaurants losing patrons and profits by having to move tables farther apart. (Which doesn't happen in European countries--tables are much closer together than in US, and dogs either fit or stay away.)

The people who do like dogs will take the opposite view, as I just did. Each side wants the last word.

Time for the moderator to have the last word.
