Somebody has to "fight back" against these kinds of statements and stick up for the responsible dog owners, who are in the majority.

We have a dog too, and have taken him to restaurants where it is permitted, both here and abroad. In the end, since he is a big dog, we feel it more convenient for both us and him to leave him at home. But that is the only reason. He has, moreover, never been snarled at by another dog wishing to do him harm, either inside or outside a restaurant, nor has he been snarled or frothed at while out and about. That's what I'm railing against--not that someone had an opposite opinion, but the way in which it was stated.

Sounds reasonable to me CFrance.
