No Pets At the Marble Street Brewery

Pets, in America, have become more than pets.  

At the Marble Brewery, the limits to their importance are clearly stated on step risers leading to the second floor of this downtown Albuquerque drinking establishment.

It is only a matter of time before this road house rule is summarily challenged in court, ruled on by learned men and women wearing robes, with a jury chosen by prosecutors and defense attorneys that has no thinking animals to make decisions complicated.

If a dog’s master breaks house rules and takes his pet upstairs, can the dog be held responsible for what his master does?

I’d like to be sitting on that jury.

Seeing a dog barking in its own defense would be worth hearing.
