Not fair to the guests of the square or the dog ! Keep your dog off the dance floor !

Reading through these posts, this was the first thing that came to my mind. The possible tripping hazard this may cause even for a younger person, let alone older people who already may be struggling with mobility problems.
The other thought I had was that even the gentlest animal can become agitated in a stressful situation. Consider someone accidentally stepping on a dog and the dog reacts, as one normally might, by attempting to bite the person.
To me this situation is an accident waiting to happen, not to mention the law suits that could ensue as a result of an unfortunate incident. It seems to me that keeping your dog at home, especially if the venue will be very crowded, would be the prudent thing to do.
