dogs, I am afraid of dogs but only four kinds big ones, little ones, alive ones, dead ones
To my way of thinking it is unkind to the dog to place them in a such a position as an overcrowed square. It is unfair to people who may not see this little creature and end up tripping over it. And it is unfair because of the situations similar to what has been described by skyguy. Do dog owners believe that their dogs are grooving to the music? Or do they believe their dog may have an opportunity to hook up to a cutie pooch? Are these dog owners frustrated "dog show" wanntabes strutting their "best in show" dog? Really take stock and examine why people go to the town square. Hint it is not to meet your dog.
