Had I been the owner of the aforesaid dog, you wouldn't have needed to ask the publican to request me to leave, I'd have been outta there. We allow ours one 'go' of barking, on the Second occasion, we put our coats on and leave. I do agree, owners are the problem - exactly the same as parents who allow their kids to run around and bellow like Stentor on Steroids - it's down to having consideration for others, something that many people seem to know very little about nowadays. But it all works fine in Keswick, dog-owners and non-dog-owners frequent the same pubs and eateries, everyone seems to get along fine.
