Doberville,

Yes, but does a noisy 5-year old bite or maul anyone?

Look, how about if I brought my incredibly well trained 1000-pound Gorilla with me into the restuarant and sat him down next to your table. He's never attacked anyone, but let's say for whatever reason, he takes a dislike to you and begins to growl at you in a menacing fashion. How do you suppose that would enhance your dining experience? Well, that's what has happened to me in the past when some inconsiderate jerk brings their dog into a public area like a restaurant. And the really goofy part is that if your dog attacked me and I shot and killed it, you and others would be screaming to send me to prison.

This is amazing...this thread is truly depressing. I thought only leftists were inconsiderate enough to do something like bring a dog into a public restaurant. What's next, you guys gonna tell me that the lawsuits against the cigarette companies made sense, or that gun owners should be sued for selling guns to murderers...so I can't smoke in a bar, but you can bring your dog...yeah, that makes sense.

Excellent post.
You can't smoke, but you can bring your dog into a bar? That's insane.

When I lived in Germany, it was common to see dogs in neighborhood taverns. They were locals, and the dogs were well-behaved (no nasty pitbulls with equally-crazed people on the other end of the leash). But it was still weird.

My little dog doesn't like to dine out of the house, anyways. She thinks I'm taking her to the vet and gets hysterical if we approach the station wagon!
