I'M so pleased to hear about the dog-friendly shops (Gazette, November 28) .

Perhaps you could publish a list so that I can try to avoid them!

I've also noticed that some cafes and restaurants have begun to advertise themselves as dog friendly.

Definitely ones to give a miss!

I'd have thought health and safety might have entered into this by now.

Dogs in the dining room! Ugh!

Before I get clobbered by dog lovers, I don't include working dogs in my comments.

They are your pets – so keep them to yourself, please.
