Over the past couple days we’ve seen a couple of cute dogs being walked or carried by their owners in the Bruin Den. Although we love dogs, please be aware that unless they are certified guide/service dogs, they are not allowed to be there or in any food service dining area per Oregon state food safety policies. This includes even the cute little ones that can be carried in purses. Thanks so much for understanding.
