OK .....I have a dog. I take my dog to all the festivals I go to, but would not take her into a venue!
She definitely enjoys them and does not cause a problem (we are in a caravan not a tent). People like her and generally want to stroke her (which she LOVES).
It still ticks me off to see dogs loose and uncontrolled, as I know we are judged by their standards!

If there was a dog ban I would almost certainly choose not to attend!
I steward at some of the festivals mentioned above (Shrewsbury Saddleworth Fylde Cleckheaton) and whilst I am certainly not indispensable ...... how many stewards/ punters can festivals afford to loose in these hard times?

PS   Mrs Akroyd definitely used to bite!
