Dogs don't belong at the movies, officials say

Do Fido and films go together?

An Oakland movie theater tried to make that happen, but their plan was given two thumbs down by the county.

Alameda County health officials told the owners of the New Parkway Theater they could not allow dogs into their movie house for a Saturday afternoon matinee.

It appears the denial was centered around cleanliness and food concessions.

The event was to be a fundraiser for a local animal shelter. Proceeds from the 3 p.m. showing (without dogs) will still go to the shelter.

What do you think? Should dogs be allowed inside at places such as the Chabot Theatre? If so, what restrictions should in place?
