While walking near the entrance we were told by a male employee to place our lab (dog) in the car. Yes, car. Now today’s high in Portland was 91 degrees. I told them, “No, not in this weather.� So I walked to the parking lot, and sat with my dog in the shade until my relatives got some food to go. About 20 minutes later, another employee walks by and tells me, “There are no dogs allowed here.� We told her we’re just waiting in the shade not even close to a walkway, etc… She told us again to place our dog in the car!

So, after my family spent $100 on food we drove off only to see a dog in a car in the parking lot, unattended!

The Humane Society should investigate such directives, or orders given to patrons.

Some states consider this a crime, but not at McMenamins, Edgefield establishment.

We’ve kindly asked the Human Society of Oregon to investigate such matters.
