- Fox News reported that Kirk Herbstreit fed his golden retriever, Peter, a steak at a New York City steakhouse. The Fox News report, published on November 13, 2026, said the episode sparked a heated debate over dogs in restaurants and food safety rules, according to its summary.

The headline of the report says that Craig Carton was "fuming mad" about the incident. The summary does not state what Carton said or why he objected.

The summary also does not name the steakhouse or describe any response from the restaurant. It does not identify any specific food safety rule or state whether any rule applies to the situation it describes. Those points are therefore not established by the report.

The report's byline field is blank, so no reporter is identified. This account relies on that one outlet's title and summary. No other source was consulted, and the debate and rules are described only as the summary characterizes them.
