I love my dog.

I love going to festivals.

Here the majority of festivals, like most organised public events, are "no dog" happenings. The consensus here seems to be that the irresponsible minority make so much of an impact that the responsible majority suffer. With the increasingly litigious nature of modern society, insurance premiums have gone through the roof, and it only takes one person to sue for a child (or themselves) being bitten to mean that the next year the organising body can't afford their premium and so the event doesn't go on.

That said, I wouldn't take my dog to a festival anyway, as I go there to enjoy myself, and don't need to spend my time worrying about whether some idiot is going to tread on her feet or scare her stupid falling over on or near her, or whether someone's badly-behaved brat is going to torment her (I'm not against children either, having raised 4 myself, but let's face it there are children and there are little horrors).
