I really don't see this benefiting Ranchmans. I could see this idea working well in smaller neighbourhood pubs/restaurants. Somewhere where you are out for a walk and decide to stop for a beer or a snack. I don't see people going for a walk on Mcleod trail.

Also another point is that restaurants who choose to go this route allowing dogs will have to be careful on how the implement the change. Maybe introducing a 'doggie day' of the week, or limiting only to afternoons (11-4) when the dogs are allowed on the patios. That way the up tight germaphobes have a time for them to eat outside without disease in the air.
