Probably because she is relatively small, quiet, well behaved and the establishment knows us as frequent customers. Now if we were talking about a Great Dane, pit bull, etc I might understand the concern but a small well behaved dog under a table outside……..? Come on!
I commend you, should never leave a dog in a hot car and you also mentioned eating at restaurants with outside dinning. Again no one would fault you for that. I believe the issue is unless it is totally necessary for medical reasons people should not bring their dog into inside dinning. Again, as I stated in an earlier post, for nothing else it is unfair for the dog to sit under a table in a strange place surrounded by stranger eating food. I can’t get into a dog’s mind, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he's thinking I can’t wait to get the hell out of here.
