My brother-in-law owns a restaurant - he is definitely not a strict person- but has to draw the line at letting dogs enter the restaurant.
It's not that he cares personally - but if the right person came in (anyone from the health department), and realized that a dog was there, - he could be heavily fined.
Plus a lot of his patrons do care. He told someone with a pup one day that they had to take the pup outside --- and there there were a lot of disgruntled customers there - complaining about the dog having been there.
Any of you care if you might cause another person to be fined (not a small fine either) because you snuck your pup into a place where it shouldn't be?
I think restaurants are the most strict - that doesn't mean that a lot of the waitresses and other employees won't think your pup is cute. They don't think much about it sometimes - but then they don't have to pay any fines.
