No Doggie Bag Required
By Matt Margolis | February 24, 2006
Have you ever heard of a more ridiculous thing than this?
Some Florida cities would like to throw a dog a bone – or maybe a burger and some fries.
Dogs would be able to sit with humans at outdoor restaurant tables in some communities under a measure advancing in the Florida Legislature.
The bill, approved by a House committee Wednesday, would create a three-year test program to allow cities to grant restaurants that want to host dogs special permission to do so under certain conditions.
I’m sorry, but it’s bad enough when you got to deal with crying babies and rambunctious kids… Why on earth would I want to go to a restaurant that allows dogs… even if they are only allowed outside and have to be on leashes… I don’t want to watch dogs eating when I’m eating.
I hope this doesn’t start a trend.

Overheard recently in a Florida restaurant, “Is that your dog under the table or are you glad to see me?” More on my blog above.

Matt,
I lived in Germany for a couple of years. Dogs in the retaurants were common and accepted. They generally bahved better than most children.
