Even as a dog lover, I heartily endorse colin b's remark re dogs in pubs, but only if food is served. I've no objection to dogs in the bar, provided they're well behaved. My old sheepdog (sadly now dead), was as much a regular in our village pub as I was, and had even been known to go in on her own, but never ever in the dining area.In the bar, she'd go and greet everyone, then sit under the chair in the corner until 11pm, then get up and leave!
