    1. How has it become the new perceived normal that dogs are members of the public? Please leave your poop crusted mutts at home, and more importantly out of stores I visit and shopping carts I place my food in. This is a public festival not a animal love fest, bring you mutt to a dog park instead and leave public places for humans.
