AND did you know that pet dogs are allowed on patios? That's right, Fido can accompany you to a restaurant, bar, or cafe patio that is dog-friendly. A few things to remember when you bring your pooch to a patio:

ASK if your dog is allowed - some patios may not be able to accommodate dogs.
Dogs are not allowed inside. (Does not apply to service dogs.)
Dogs are not allowed to eat but can drink water if bowl is brought by dog-owner.
Follow the specific rules laid out by the food & drink establishment that you are visiting.
