^^ None taken!
On the rare occasion I eat outside I'll be surrounded by dogs... but they're not touched and get nothing until the food is finished (I usually leave four small treats at the end, one for each dog).
Yogi has just started to sit on the outside chairs, but he had such a bad start in life and it has taken so long to get him to accept a bit of kindness that I let this pass. It really does no harm.
To be honest I prefer my dogs' company to most of the humans round here anyway (daughter excepted of course!).
^ HW... I missed that!
