Bring the Dog ! was first published July 18th 2003 and is dedicated to the memory of our first dog Sasha.

We (Judy and Neil Cameron-Rollo) were prompted to start this site by an incident in June 2003.

While travelling back from Scotland with our dog Sasha we decided to stop at a small market town near Hadrian’s Wall for lunch.
As it was a hot day we did not want to leave her in the car. We were tired, hungry and thirsty.

We tried three different pubs (one of which had a beer garden) and were turned away at each because we had the dog with us.
Needless to say we will not be going back (unless of course one of you can recommend somewhere).

We now have two dogs (Tansy and Bella) and are still looking for places to go. With this in mind I have decided to completely
revamp the site and bring everything up to date.

We feel that this site is worth the effort because:

    * All the entries in the Reviewed and Recommended list are there because they have been recommended / reviewed by a
      fellow dog owner.

    * All nominated establishments are be entitled to a free entry (We hope eventually to finance the running of the site by getting
      sponsorship and selling enhanced entries and other services to listed establishments. We are prepared to carry the costs for
      the time being)

    * It covers the entire country (We would be very pleased to get nominations for Eire as well).

    * We can list as many properties as you nominate.

    * It will be more current than any printed guide could hope to be.

    * This site is run by a dog and its owners for dogs and their owners

So let us know about any establishment where you and your dog have been made to feel welcome.
