How can a happy face lying at the table upset anyone? Dogs make most people smile and are a conversation starter and an enjoyable presence, especially on the Sunshine Coast where almost everyone has a dog by their side.

I believe a lot of business will lose customers now if we can't take our dogs there.

I only go to places where they 'break the rules', it's a risk they take that they shouldn't have too. If the reasoning behind the current rules are health & safety then banning children and some adults should also be part of the councils rulings!
