Dallas/Fort Worth People 'N Pets

Dallas is known for its myriad of dining options, and there's no reason that your dog can't go with you.  While we haven't quite achieved the
same open-door policy toward pets that you'll find in Europe, a growing number of area eateries are allowing people to bring their four-legged
friends along for a bite.

If you know of a restaurant that offers outdoor dining, it's worth a call to find out if they'll let you bring your dog along. And of course, you can always go to
Starbucks or Coffee Haus for a cup of caffeine with your canine.

In the meantime, here are some dog-friendly restaurants and other businesses that welcome dogs:

Out & About With Your Pet
As the number of pet-oriented retailers grows, there are more places for dogs to go shopping with their owners. You can expect that pet boutiques will allow animals
inside, but the outing doesn't have to end there. Here's where you can go for more animal-friendly faces behind the counter:

• Neiman Marcus - Dallas' most famous store not only carries some extremely fine gifts for pets and their people, but the original building allows well-behaved canines
  to shop with their owners. Emphasis on "well-behaved," of course. 214-741-6911
• Pottery Barn - In case you haven't noticed by now, the Knox-Henderson area is a great area for animals - and you can add Pottery Barn to the list of dog-friendly
  stores. Shop for home furnishings at this store at 3220 Knox St. with your leashed loved one. 214-528-3202
• Stanley Korshak - This elegant store is staffed with a number of animal lovers, and they'll be more than happy to see you accompanied by your four-legged and
  leashed friend. While you're there, check out the line of high-end pet beds and accessories by C.C. Cord, or look into commissioning a portrait by painter Holly Emery.
• Whole Earth Provisions, Mockingbird at Central - loves critters and lavishes them with attention!
• The Brazos Drive-In Theater in Granbury encourages people to bring their leashed pets to the movie. Load up the car and enjoy the show ... $15 per carload.
  For more information, visit their website.
• Postal General at Skillman & Oram (1927 Skillman St.) in the Lakewood area. They love to see your well behaved pets. Postal General is a private mail center that
  can ship your packages and your pooch can come too!
