July 28, 2008 – 5:47 pmSTUART — By unanimous vote Monday, Stuart city commissioners gave initial approval to a dog-friendly restaurant ordinance that would allow patrons to bring their canines to restaurants with outdoor eating areas.
Restaurants seeking the dog-friendly designation would have to apply for and receive a permit from the city before allowing the animals on premises.
The ordinance requires dogs to be leashed and attended at all times, prohibits mans best friend from actually being seated at a table and requires employees to wash their hands each time they leave the dog-designated area.
Employees and owners will also have the task of preventing their dogs from coming into contact with serving dishes, tableware or any other food service item.
