Doggy beer.

Yes, depending on the outcome, tomorrow the restaurant will provide coupons for Happy Tail Ale, which will be redeemable at the restaurant next alfresco season (the law won't go into effect until 2008) attatched to a house-made doggy biscuit.

Well, if your dog is trying to cut back, don't worry--there's no alcohol in it.
