Restaurants and Dogs


Dogs in the U.S. are not allowed into restaurants at all unless he or she is a service animal. I can kind of understand the concern because if dogs are behave badly it can be dangerous and I certainly don't want dog hair in my food. But I still think it would be fun to take my dog out to eat with me. In France, where dogs abound, there are no such restrictions and even the finest of restaurants allow them, even welcome them. Small dogs frequently sit aside its owner or in their lap. Waiters will play with dogs and their toys. Many new visitors to France are actually quite shocked when first exposed to these customary practices.
I think that if France can do it so can we. Check this article out that discusses the many reasons we can't have dogs in restaurants: Chow.com
