TEXT 1: SHOULD DOGS BE ALLOWED IN CAFÉS?

1 Almost half of all UK adults own a pet, and 24% have a dog, with the pet dog population now estimated to be around 9.4 million.

2 Mostly, those pet dogs are not welcome inside shops, restaurants and other places with their owners. Naturally, there are exceptions for

3 assistance dogs, but the rest find themselves left at home or outside, on the pavement, while the owner pops into a café for a cup of tea.

4 People think dogs are not allowed into shops and cafés for hygiene reasons, but there is nothing in law to prevent a dog from being

5 in a café —only from food-preparation areas. If adequate steps are taken to keep food safe, it is up to a café owner whether or not to

6 admit pets.

7 The “Be Dog Friendly” campaign was designed to encourage businesses and public places around the UK to allow dogs. Not all

8 dogs would be desirable, however. Badly behaved ones could ruin a pleasant outing —a café in Singapore got into trouble when two

9 canines fought each other in front of customers. For this reason, the campaign promotes “petiquette” guidelines to make sure your dog

10 will be welcome wherever it goes. Ensuring the dog is clean, well-behaved and under the owner's control at all times serves everyone's

11 welfare.

12 For some people, though, the presence of a dog is extremely unwelcome, perhaps because of pet allergies or fear of dogs.

13 Dog-friendly cafés may be increasing in “pup-ularity”, but they should be well signposted so that anyone who prefers to dine dog-

14 free can continue to do so with ease.
