Hello to everyone,
Interesting: Governor Brown signs new dog law. I agree, it could present problems for those of us with service dogs, especially our guide dogs, since it's so necessary that our dogs definitely not be distracted during the time they're working with us. However, I've been in San Francisco hundreds of times, and been in restaurants where dogs sat right in the inside dining area without there seeming to be any problem at all. I guess it remains to be seen how well this will work out.
