I don't understand why people bring dogs to OUTDOOR shows either.
I attend several large outdoor antique shows every summer. The shows are scheduled during the summer, when it is not unusual for temps to be in the 90's. There is little shade. I see a fair number of people with dogs, panting away. Usually they don't seem to be carrying anything to give the dog water.
When the temperature is ok, my dog goes with me everywhere. But when its too hot or too cold, he stays home.
Here in Northern California, people take their dogs to outdoor restaurants. They also take them to crowded outdoor town square concerts, regardless of whether the dog is socialized or not. Often, it's some macho guy who may be afraid to be alone in a crowd.
