My husband and I go to Mexico every year and spend a month in that delightful country.

The restaurants in Mexico welcome dogs and it’s a wonderful thing to see. The dogs sit nicely under the tables and have a good time people-watching while their moms and dads also enjoy a fun time with their friends and families.

In all the years that we have been going to Mexico, we’ve never seen a dog act up or have an accident.

A dog in a restaurant is not going to make you sick any more than a dog in your home makes you ill. Pets are members of the family, and personally, the way I’ve seen some little children act in public places, I’d much rather take a dog out to dinner than a naughty child.
