I live in Florida. It's for outdoor dining. Dogs have always eaten at outdoor dining areas since I've been here. Recently, restaurants have been cracking down on not letting dogs sit with their owners at the outside tables because the Health Dept. had started giving huge fines. Most of the restaurant owners that we talked to said they didn't mind the dogs and actually liked having them, but they couldn't afford it. Now, dogs will be able to sit at outdoor dining with their owners again, and restaurant owners/managers won't have to worry about fines.
