I Have a Reservation for Two and One Canine on the Patio

Breaking: Dog owners who can't go a waking moment without your best friend, it's official. The Chenny Troupe website is reporting that the proposed ordinance allowing dogs to join their owners at outdoor cafés passed City Council this afternoon. This means that, beginning next year, restaurants and bars with patio/outdoor seating may buy a two-year license that permits dogs whose rabies vaccinations are in good standing to enter their establishments.

As we wrote last week, that's a common sense solution. It is ultimately up to the proprietors of these businesses to allow dogs to join their owners in enjoying the leisure of an outdoor café. Now if City Council just applied that same common sense to everything they did.
