Well behaved dogs are tolerable.

However there seems to be, in the UK, a prevalence of thought that if you don't like dogs there is something wrong with you.

I choose not to have a dog because basically they are unhygenic animals and more often than not stink.

One of the pubs I frequent in the UK is like Crufts on occasion, with more dogs in the room than people.

One thing I have noticed here in Ireland is that very few people take their dog to a bar, long may that continue.
