Dogs now welcome to join cafe society

DOG owners say that new laws to allow allow canine companions in cafes and restaurants are a ''victory for commonsense''.
The NSW Government has introduced amendments to laws governing food safety and companion animals so that dog owners and cafe proprietors do not risk fines or being named and shamed by the Food Authority.
The prohibition on dogs in food service areas only came to light last year when Mosman Council received complaints from a few residents regarding dogs in Balmoral cafes. Until then, councils had largely turned a blind eye.
