The battle in Chicago is over. After complaining of being fined for allowing dogs in bars and restaurants, the owners and pet lovers scored a victory. The new ordinance will allow bars to admit four-legged friends onto their premises. The decision was made unanimously and applies to those establishments that do not serve any kind of food. This is not the right that pet owners were given, and the ultimate decision is left to the owners of establishments.
