The city of Frisco is planning to allow dogs to dine with their owners at restaurant patios. If the dog-friendly ordinance is approved, restaurants like Manny's Tex-Mex Grill  will be permitted to have outdoor designated seating for dogs and their owners.

According to the ordinance, dogs won't be allowed inside the restaurants and the restaurants must have a  separate entrance from the outside. Adding this, there would be certain sanitary requirements and restrictions.

Restaurants will also need to post signs at each patio entrance stating it's a "Dog Friendly Patio." The main entrance the sign must read "Dog Friendly Patio" access only through Outdoor Patio.

The owner of Manny's Tex-Mex Grill, Kimberly Gautier is supporting the proposal and believes it will be good for the business.

"And it is part of their family for some people. That is their child, so yes we are all for it," said Gautier, the restaurant owner.

A dog owner DeAnne Harvey, said that, "as long as they are not barking or biting they should be allowed if they are sitting there next to their owners then they should be able to stay there."
