Tallahassee · Welcome back, Fido; would you like your usual table?

With legislators barking in the background, the Florida House gave final approval Wednesday to a bill that would allow dogs all across Florida to dine outdoors with their masters at restaurants.

Gov. Jeb Bush, owner of a black Labrador retriever named Marvin, seemed ready to sign the bill into law.

"I think people in certain conditions should be allowed to dine with their dogs," he said.

Under the measure (SB 1172), cities and counties would be allowed to issue dog-dining permits to restaurants for three years. After that, the practice will be evaluated.

Applicants would have to provide diagrams of the outdoor seating areas where dogs would be allowed and include hand sanitizers on tables. Waiters could not pet dogs while serving food. A clean-up kit would have to be kept nearby to deal with dog messes.
