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?

This dog in restaurants has gotten way out of control. Restaurants seem to think they need the business dogs bring in, but they don't realize how many they lose due to the inconsiderate dog owners. I too have seen a number of dog owners abuse the priviledge by letting them eat from the tables, sitting on chairs, barking at customers etc. As a dog owner, I will not stop at an eatery if my friend is with me. I fail to see the necessity in bringing ones pet to the restaurants PERIOD.
