I’ve seen a lot of “Because I Can!” answers but no explanation for why you would choose to put a loved pet in such a situation.

Dogs sitting in cars : dogs going to squares.

Dogs sitting in hot cars : dogs going to extremely crowded squares.

As I've said before, the few times we brought our dog to the squares when music was playing, she fell asleep in our lap...

So please explain, what horrors did we subject her to?

Would you bring your service dog to a party you had been invited to with say 20 to 30 guests mingling, drinking and having a good time maybe dancing. No it would be rude for you to be sitting in their living room all night with scooby do or poolside with your dog interfering in the party process. The same applies to the town squares. The people go there to dance ,drink ,co-mingle, not to sit next to someone's 130 lb dog . Does this make it clearer, it is rude. The party is for the people, not a dog show or for any other barnyard pet. Wish i owned a t-rex, think i could make my point better then, but no worries, he would have a leash on

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

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.
