RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. Dog food is officially on the menu at a new restaurant in San Francisco. No joke. Dogue may be the first known establishment catering exclusively to dogs. For 75 bucks, your pup can chow down on a multi-course bone appetit dinner, which includes options like filet mignon steak tartare with a quail egg or chicken skin waffles. Hungry humans at Dogue are given a mimosa and a baked treat and presumably a pat on the head. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
