California Health Code Violation - Dogs on Patio?

[B-Line]

Hey Gang,

Since we have experts on everything in this place..

Is anyone familiar with an ordinance, rule, law, etc. that doesn't allow dogs on the patio of restaurants?

Of course I know that dogs can't be brought into restaurants but I was always under the assumption that on the patio was okay.

I was recently told that there is a health code violation for having dogs on a patio and a restaurant can be severely fined.

Does anyone have any specific information on the matter?
