Deli, with Ressa, Russel, and Joshy

When the weather is nice, Steve
and Joanee Hurwitz, co-owners of the
Jewish-style Steve's Deli in Bloomfield
Township, welcome dogs with guests
at outdoor tables. It's only natural
because the Hurwitzes love canines
and have two rescued labrador
retrievers at home. Visiting dogs get
fresh water and treats.
Regular customers Bob and Erika
Singer of Bloomfield Hills say Annie,
their white Samoyed, likes the atten-
tion at Steve's. Some of the nice peo-
ple they meet will "share memories of
a Samoyed that they, or someone they
knew, once had:' said Bob Singer.
Michigan House Bill 4335 was
introduced this year to allow cities
and restaurants to decide whether to
allow dogs in outdoor seating areas
throughout the state. Currently, state
law requires dogs to be tied to a post
on the outside of the patio.
"But it's up to local public health
departments on the county level to
determine how aggressively they
want to enforce the issue said Justin
Winslow, vice president of govern-
ment affairs for the Lansing-based
Michigan Restaurant Association.
Service dogs, helping individuals
who are impaired, are almost always
permitted in restaurants.

The policy at Traffic Jam & Snug
in Detroit, according to staff, is "as
long as it's a nice dog that won't
bother anyone, it can go anywhere on
our patio." The Whitney restaurant
in Detroit welcomes well-behaved
pooches and "parents" to its front
patio garden area every Tuesday, from
5-10 p.m.
The Old Miami in Detroit doesn't
usually cater to dogs, but has confi-
dence in Blondy's ability to monitor
them at Drinking With Dogs events.
Fido can make more friends at the next
one, scheduled 6-9 p.m. Tuesday, Aug.
20, in the bar's ample backyard. ❑
