Chicago dining is going to the dogs. This is how the city hopes to generate more revenue? Good grief, how do these people get dressed by themselves each day.
Wait till they find out that dogs are considered unclean in Islam. The Muslims will not be happy about dogs in restaurants.
That makes it all worth it.
Obama is already on the sidewalk waiting in line at his favorite Indonesian restaurant.
Fleas on the menu! Flee!
If I wanted to dine amongst unruly, territory marking animals I’d go to a kennel.
Or just go to certain parts of the city.
There should be an animal free zone. People are crazy with their pets. Animal lovers rights shouldn’t infringe on the rights of others.
If a dog has to relieve itself it won’t go outside it will be right where he is at !!!
