I agree. You do need to use some empathy with what your pooch is experiencing. I hate it when I see a dog having to walk on hot pavement or one who looks like it really needs water.

I did take my dog one year to see the Budweiser Clydesdales at Lake Sumter Landing Square and he hated it. Clydesdales Hitch Event Schedule | Budweiser All the loud noises scared him. You can usually tell what a dog is feeling from how she moves her tail and ears. Mine's tail was between his legs and his ears were sometimes down.

The dog park at times has even had too many dogs for comfort especially when you have your dog around a lot of others that are unfamiliar.
