I am a dog lover but do not let even my dog feed from the table much less feed while some on is eating.
Athens has been one of my favorite restaurants but this has turned me off to a point, I doubt that I will return. Am I too harsh?

That does not sound like a company policy, but a "training" problem. If dogs are allowed at outdoor seating, the dog is restricted to the floor.
