Good thing I didn't see this bill first, or else the title of this thread would have been:
"Hawaii could be the latest state to tax dog poo"
I think the bring-your-dog-to-the-restaurant thing works in Europe where people are civilized about it. I remember seeing diners with a dog get up and leave because a new diner and dog came in and the original diners' dog got grumpy about the new dog in the restaurant. Here a situation like that could quickly devolve into who got there first instead of who's animal isn't behaving.
So we'll have to put up with fake service animals instead, because the law allows them to behave in any manner the owner wants.
Other than all that, I think it would be great if I ever owned a dog that was capable of behaving in a restaurant and taking it there, but honestly when we can afford to eat out, which isn't often, the last thing we want to see is one of our dogs.
