I think when humans are kind to their pets it is a good thing. Many are lonely for companionship and their pets fill that need. To most of us they mean more than working dogs meant to farmers. I agree that we need to remember that our pets, our kids, are loved by us and others don't have the privilege of the bond we share. Most of us should remember NOT to inconvenience others with our kids or pets and try to teach them to behave in such a way that others enjoy them.
I don't trust anyone who doesn't like dogs or cats. That is just me.

It has everything to do with it. Farm dogs are a completely different genre than pet dogs. Most people understand that.
And I agree with Gracie. Good training, and recognizing when and where your pet will be comfortable is essential. Some pets will be more anxious left alone at home than they would be when brought along. Some owners really need the companionship. But dogs are allowed in public. If someone wants their companion to be with them, that's their right. If it's well behaved, not burning its pads off (rarely happens) and you don't like it, it's really your problem and not the dog owner's.
