Thread Name: Dogs at Festival
Subject: RE: Dogs at Festival
As a dog owner. No dogs no me
I think that is an attitude to be applauded.
Clearly the dog means more to you than the festival and that is your choice.
As far as children and their behaviour is concerned festivals do make special arrangements for them. At Bromyard for example it was Jan and Dr. Sunshine.
And I have never been bitten by a child (at a festival or elsewhere) I have been bitten by a dog, and the thread was started because of a dog biting a child at a festival. Of course children can be annoying - none more than my own two daughters when they went through the teen years. We tried hard to stop them annoying people, and then stopped taking them to festivals as soon as we could.
One became a festival organiser.
