A new law makes it legal to have dogs in the outdoor areas of restaurants in New York. Past health and safety laws made it illegal to bring dogs to any restaurants in New York. This was to prevent the spread of diseases.

State lawmakers voted in May to let people bring dogs to restaurants that have tables outdoors. These areas are often called patios. Not one lawmaker voted no.

Late Monday night, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the law. New York joins California, Florida and Maryland in the list of states with similar laws.

In many European countries, bringing dogs to restaurants is common. Paris has allowed dogs to accompany their owners in restaurants for a long time.

Several special rules are included in this law. The dogs must be on a leash. Dogs must not share water bowls. Also, restaurants can choose to let people bring dogs or not.
