Allowing Dogs on Restaurant Patios

"Allow dogs"

"dogs are cool!"

"Sounds like yet another case of Orlando officials trying to justify their positions."

"Part of the charm of outside dining is the ability to have the dogs with us. I lived abroad for 4 years, the dogs go in stores and restaurants there. I miss that, and loved taking my dog out with me."

"Shouldn't we concentrate on ridding the downtown area of drug dealers and crime. Things that make you go HMMMM?"

"Please continue to allow dogs to sit outside the restaurants in Orlando."

"I love the fact that you can bring your dog with you downtown and"

"Dogs to us are part of our family."

"I had been proud living in a sophisticated, progressive state that allowed dogs in outdoor dining areas. Now I am sad and disappointed that Florida is closing its doors to dog-friendly dining. So is my dog who enjoys relaxing family outings at fine dining"

"Why not, dogs act better than most people!"

"If they allow smoking outside, whats a dog going to hurt?"

"Poor dogs."

"Let restaurant owners do what they want!"

"Let us enjoy are family members. People are dirtier than dogs."

"Dogs are friends!"

"dogs should be allowed on a patio, most are cleaner than people"

"Let the doggies visit us on the patio!"

"Despite what others think pets are part of our family and it is sad that we can not allow them spend more time with their owners."

"Downtown and Thornton Park will not be the same."

"Dogs like to relax outside too! :)"

"Well behaved leashed dogs, should be allowed to dine on patios with their owners."

"Any inconvenience caused by dogs on leashes on restaurant patios is considerably outweighed by the benefits conferred upon pet owners."

"Pets are an important part of our lives and if well behaved should be allowed in public places."

"Please allow dogs to continue to dine out of doors"
