My grand puppy, Beau has taken a liking to me. He's big. He weighs in at close to 100 pounds, but he thinks he's a Yorkie. He loves to climb on my lap and snuggle.

We have become so close, that I'm thinking about venturing out with him to some local restaurants. But he's not the greatest social animal. During our visits to the dog park, he gets a little nasty if dogs start sniffing him (where he doesn't like to be sniffed). But I think socialization can be good for pets.

With the help of some pet loving friends, we put together this list of the top 10 pet friendly restaurants in Shreveport Bossier.

1. Marilynn's Place

One of my favorite spots for Sunday brunch is Marilyn's Place. The patio area is always packed and often you can find several dogs enjoying a few hours out with the family.

2. Bistro Byronz

You will actually find ten dog friendly tables at this Line Avenue eatery. You can enjoy a signature sandwiches while your pup hangs out with some buddies.

3. Monjuni's

This is one of my favorite spots for good Italian food. I've never eaten on the patio at the Louisiana Avenue location, but my dog loving friends say the pups love it on the Monjuni's patio.

This popular spot in the East Bank District in Bossier has several tables on the patio that can accommodate your K9 pal. You can grab a great po-boy and your pup can make some new friends.

This is another great spot for brunch. You can get a very healthy meal while dining on the patio at popular spot at the corner of Line and Pierremont. I always run into someone I know while dining in this place.
