So serious question….why do you insist on bringing your very large dog to this ‘packed with people’ event? Now before you accuse me of not liking dogs, I love dogs! I have a dog but would never take him to a crowed event like I was at Saturday and would love to know why you feel you have to bring your dog or dogs to this type of event. If it is a service dog that is one thing but I saw dogs there the size of goat or a small horse and they were not service dogs. I really don’t think dogs care one bit about the ‘lighting of a big Christmas tree’! I have discussed this with a number of people and for the life of us we can’t come up with why people do this. So please enlighten me….why do you bring your dog to a jam packed people event?
Were there any signs/rules that state "dogs not allowed" at this event? If so, then I can see why your curiosity was piqued. If not, then all I see in your post is your opinion...If it's allowed, what's the issue? You don't like it? Too bad
Wondering how many of these dogs were new to their families? If so, were they merely bringing the dogs to teach them socialization skills in public? Teaching them not to bark, or not to react to people. Not all dog training happens at home.
SMH...Must have been a slow day in the complaint department
