The Dog performed at Lake Sumpter last night.
 

The band was made up of 2 Guitarists, 1 Keyboardist, 1 Drummer, and 2 Lead Singers.

One of the singers was a woman with a really nice voice. The other singer was a dog on a leash that barked loudly and managed to ruin several songs. Every time it barked about 100 people turned their heads and sneered in the owner's direction- but it's OK because she loves the dog and thinks it's cute. Now would be a good time for people to explain why this pet's loud barking should be accepted. No. It did not have on a Service Dog vest.

If enough people walk out on them the band will get the hint

No such thing as a stupid dog. Just a stupid owner

There is not a p in Sumter and service dogs do not wear vests.

Service dogs are usually well trained. Frequently Asked Questions about Service Animals and the ADA | ADA.gov

Most do and 99.9% of them won't bark, unless there's a significant reason ... lousy music doesn't qualify.

Service dogs do not need to wear a vest. The majority of them do not. Dogs are allowed in the squares. They do not have to be service dogs.

I guess your role here is to correct posters rather than address the subject matter.

Not questioning if they are allowed. Questioning how neighborly a woman is who sits through several songs as her dog's loud barking ruins it for the humans who are present.

You are welcome.

No…JSR’s role is to defend inconsiderate
dog owner behaviors!
Not all dog owners are inconsiderate,
but many in TV unfortunately are!

You are wrong I never defended inconsiderate dog owners. I stated a dog does not have to be a service dog to go to the squares! I have owned dogs since I was 8 and owned a dog business for many years. It is ignorant to think a Service Dog needs to wear a vest.

No one in the thread, said a Service Dog has to wear a vest. The vast majority do, for a myriad of reasons.

& I doubt there' are many folks in TV, who don't know dogs are allowed in the Squares. I bring mine, all the time.

So forgive me, but I can't find any point to your posts, other than to let us all know you owned a "dog business".

Different point of view. The person whose dog was barking and interrupting the show was rude (for allowing her dog to ruin the show), egotistical (for using her noisy and disruptive dog as a meas of making her the center of attention), and a perfect example of a bad dog owner. The dog was apparently not happy to be there, but the owner, apparently didn't care about the poor dog.

NOTE: most negative post's about dog behavior are really about the clueless, self-centered owners.

Thank your lucky stars I wasn't there, had a few to many beers, and decided to sing along with the band.
The dog would have sounded like Pavarotti! :sing:
