Maybe some of the Europeans here can correct me, but I seem to recall, at least maybe in England or France, that dogs are allowed in restaurants and it’s usually not a big deal. I’m not sure why it turned in a more restrictive direction here. I think we are more germ phobic than other countries. I thought the rules here stemmed from “cleanliness” concerns over anything else.
But then also, people are entitled a-$@/$! Who ruin things for good pet owners.
I remember being on a flight next to an adorable “service” dog (one of those emotional support dogs) who peed on the airplane as it left. Basically a spoiled rich 20something and now everyone else has either smell pee in that spot or have others clean it up (I’m sure the crew didnt even see it). And then people don’t trust genuine service dogs as legit… but there’s no way to catch everything like that in the act.
Fun fact I flew first class once so Sylvester would have more under the seat room and the fight attendant was horrendous to me. It was one of my worst flying experiences ever. My carrier allowed him to stick his head out and she went ballistic. He was a 15lb dog in a carrier who I paid for, not smuggled or something.
