“If you say you don’t have enough whatever (time, money, space) to have a dog, then you’re a good dog parent. You just don’t have a dog yet. You’ll have one when the time is right.” Fred Metzler, owner of Dog Bar St. Pete with Tiger Lily and some of their regulars.


Who would you like to have a cold beer with - living or dead - and what question would you ask? One of my passions is golf. So, right away, Arnold Palmer comes to mind. I’d love to sit down and have a beer with Arnie. I might ask him how he dealt with his celebrity status. How did you tune out the fact that everyone knew who you were, wherever you went and whatever you were doing? Not that I’m comparing his celebrity

with what I’m going through, right now. But, I’m getting less comfortable with myself, knowing that people know who I am, outside Dog Bar.


How do you measure success? By the smiles on the faces in the Dog Bar - on the people and their dogs. They are contagious and they are constant. And, the love that my staff has for this place.
