Enjoying a refreshing craft beer in Milwaukee is a pastime many beer lovers in the city enjoy. Now those same beer lovers can enjoy a cold one with their dogs — sort of.

If you do much walking through Milwaukee neighborhoods, say in the Historic Third Ward or Bay View, you’ve probably stumbled across vibrant schools of fish painted on the sidewalks.
