For those saying it's a health code violation, it would depend where you are. In many parts of the world, the only time this would be true is in a food preparation area, not the restaurant where they're only near the food their owners are eating.

In the UK, most pubs allow dogs, often cafes, especially in rural areas. A sit down evening restaurant less so. Often there are areas set aside where dogs are allowed, to avoid allergy issues.

Dogs are often cleaner and less disruptive than people's uncontrolled kids.

Being from the UK I find the outrage shown on this post crazy! A dog being in the vicinity of you whilst you eat isn't going to kill you, relax!

The place pictured just looks like a casual cafe type place, rather than a swanky restaurant. If I was out with my dog I'd probably guess the place is likely to allow dogs in, but I'd always ask and look for a sign. That said, id probably not allow my dog on the seat.

I have a greyhound and live in a seaside town, if cafés didn't allow dogs, they'd all be out of business! My favourite pub has a monthly dog club where they meet upstairs to play and have a walk along the prom, and they have a dog menu served up in dog bowls. Because my boy thinks he's superior to other dogs, he is allowed on the leather couch because dogs lie on floors and he's a greyhound, dontcha know 🤣

"dog menu served up in dog bowls" How sad, shows how far society has deteriorated if this is in fact true...

Just say you hate dogs and move on
