A Dog Lover's 'Dream Come True' at Milo's Cafe Grand Opening

The ratio of dogs to people was pretty close to even in the patio, parking lot and sidewalk areas outside of for its grand opening Saturday morning, where dozens of people showed up to check out a fully renovated former Fuddrucker's that now caters to people who love canines, healthy food—or both.

"This is a dream come true," owner Scott Sellman, a former mortgage-industry professional now turned restauranteur, told the crowd before cutting the red ribbon at around 11:15 a.m. "We're gonna have a lot of good times out here."

Animal rescue groups with adoptable dogs were on hand, including Coastal German Shephard Rescue, Barks of Love and Lifeline Animal Rescue. Sellman plans to have the groups return on a regular basis and display their dogs in the patio out back.

Sellman started the restaurant with the intention of providing a healthy, tasty place to eat as well as a place for dog owners to grab a meal with their dogs, who can stay leashed by tables on the back patio or unleashed in playpens with other dogs, provided the owners sign a waiver.
