1. Pretty soon pet lovers may be able to eat outside with their dog at some restaurants throughout Michigan.
The state senate just passed a bill that would allow dogs on restaurant patios.
Under the bill, restaurants wouldn’t be forced to comply, but they would have the option to allow dogs.
It would also require dogs to be on a leash, and restaurants would have to outline rules including size and breed restrictions.
The state house will now consider the bill.
