There are all sorts of reasons why dogs aren't allowed into certain places and we as dog owners have to respect that. I strongly disagree with posts I read here about people sneeking their pets into places they know they aren't welcome ( I know that wasn't the case in this post as they brought their dogs there before w/out incident). They are animals after all...no matter how hard we try to make them into our babies (I'm guilty) or place human emotions on them and I think it's good to be reminded of that every once in a while.
