That is one of the benefits of a capital-driven society. Companies can, and will, respond positively when pushed to do so by public opinion (as otherwise they could lose a lot of customers).
From the comments below the article, Catherine:
"I will never forget evacuating to Memphis the day before Katrina hit, driving up with my three cats and my mother's dog. My father ranting all the way that the Peabody Hotel was NOT going to allow animals, and having an ache in my stomach and a sense of panic. We had nowhere else to go because we had waited so late to leave. I remember trying to hide their cages from the bellman with my clothes. And then we entered the lobby---and I saw and heard the barks of Goldens, and Labs, and saw birds, and cats, and the desperate faces of families like mine just thankful to be welcomed. And I also remember, the following day, when the levees broke, riding in the elevator with a family whose children were in tears because they had left their dog in the yard. It was heart breaking. Thank you Peabody Hotel."
Now THAT'S what I call a hotel!
