She was our family. She never ran out in the square to dance not looking where she was going almost tripping older folks. She never whined and cried when she didn’t get her way.I love seeing people with their grandchildren , I never complain about it even when they cry or throw tantrums when I’m eating.so I think those who complain about our pets here should be quiet and quit judging others... you sound like a bunch of old people. Please find something else do

I understand what you're saying and agree it's nice to be able to take one's dog to the squares. But I think the original statement was to the effect that many dog owners here do not protect their dog as you did with a stroller; AND, they do not protect other people from potential dog fights or biting under stress, because....
A good portion of owners here overestimate their "perfect" dog's training and ability to stay peaceful and not attack when stressed by crowding and noisy, maybe pushy, public crowds and other less obedient/unsafe dogs.
Not everyone's dog is predictable when they spy other aggressive or untrained dogs and humanoids.
