Can someone please tell me why oh why do people insist on taking their dogs out with them everywhere???
It’s worse than having unmannerly children at the next table.
When we arrived here from Ireland, 3 years ago I was absolutely gobsmacked by the amount of dogs, both in restaurants and anywhere else, I'd never seen so many dogs. I'm sure there are lots of them in Ireland just not in restaurants or shops unless they are trained special needs dogs.
Somehow over time we have just had to accept that there seems to be more dogs here than people! But funnily enough they are owned mostly by British people. I admire you for posting, a lot of people get very touchy about their dogs. We have also learned to avoid restaurants with dogs in there. ( yes it's hard to do)
