Uh oh!

Saw an allergy post on the other page. Used to work with a guy that couldn't be around dogs for that reason. For him we had a strict no dogs at work policy. The couple times it happened he got annoyed and a few of us mentioned it to the owners and the dog was kept away from roaming our side until they took it out and left. I also knew a little kid who loved dogs but if he pet them would stir up his allergy and the mom always had to refrain him from doing so because she didn't want to have to rush him to the ER. Sad on both cases but allergies suck.

You cannot determine if a dog is or is not by looking at them, unless they are lunging, barking or uncontrolled.

What is deffect?

It is because some people put their own needs in front of the dog's needs. Loud noise and crowds overstimulate animals with sensitive hearing. Some adults put their needs above those of the elderly, babies and young children. It is sad but selfishness and what one person wants with disregard for others (human or animal) does exist. It is important to recognize those traits. That is why some people want to work in a care giving position with either the very old, the very young or the infirmed. It is so they can indulge themselves either on their phones or whatever and not think about the one who needs their care. I see people with very large dogs like Newfoundland's who bring them to the square in the summer and don't even bring a dish of water for the dog. It is horrible to see those animals suffer and their owners only want to gratify their own needs. What Newfoundland would want to be in 90 degree heat with their heavy coats and no water?

Good for socialization?? Like taking them to a fireworks display gets them to loud explosions. Or putting them out in lightning stom gets them to appreciate the wonder and beauty of wild weather.
"Who care"? I, and many others who have been attacked, are allergic, feel dogs don't belong at every human focused event or business.
"Get involved in other peoples business". By bringing a dog to a crowded publick event, you are messing with other people's business and their right and ability to enjoy the public festivities.
I encourage folks to leave their pets at home for the benefit of all, pet and human.

It is the owner's choice to bring their dog not yours. There are many communities that do not allow dogs. If the dogs upset, you that much you can move to one of those communities. We moved here because of the multitude of championship golf courses and that TV is dog friendly.

You may want to (re)read the original post. The OP doesn't have an issue with bringing dogs to the squares. His question, as I read it, was why presumably caring owners would subject their pets to such a crowd. Assuming there is a reason for it, what is the reason?

"Beautiful dogs"? Definitely in the eye of the owner.

The reason is the owner chose to bring the dog. I have never owned a dog that was intimidated by a crowd.

I'm intimidated by crowds, but I'm not a dog.

So serious question….why do you insist on bringing your very large dog to this ‘packed with people’ event? Now before you accuse me of not liking dogs, I love dogs! I have a dog but would never take him to a crowed event like I was at Saturday and would love to know why you feel you have to bring your dog or dogs to this type of event. If it is a service dog that is one thing but I saw dogs there the size of goat or a small horse and they were not service dogs. I really don’t think dogs care one bit about the ‘lighting of a big Christmas tree’! I have discussed this with a number of people and for the life of us we can’t come up with why people do this. So please enlighten me….why do you bring your dog to a jam packed people event?
I really wish the dog owners would stop this craziness of having take their dogs everywhere.

I went to Home Depot as I walked into the door with my 8 yr old grandchild, I lady stopped right in front of us trying to control her Dalmatian. There was another dog a large Poodle heading right towards all of us and the dog we’re wanting to go after each other. This dogs were 2 feet away from my grandchild. As I grabbed my little one the dog owners were pulling their dogs with all their might it was a bit crazy and my grandchild was pretty scared.
As the Poodle left the store the aggressive dog stay in the store……..smh I looked at the owner and said this is why you leave your pets at home. Not is a sorry. The Poodle owner did apologize as he walk by us.
