Here in England we have a new nationwide ban on smoking in public places. This means that nobody can smoke inside the pub, and this is good news for us dogs. The gardens at most of our pubs have now installed big parasol covers so that dogs and people can go into the garden even if it is raining. I have met lots of new friends out in the pub garden, cos all the smokers have to go there as well as the dogs and their owners. So even if the pub inside is not dog friendly, there are more places to go for dogs unless the weather is very cold.
