Dog owners bringing their poor dogs in to very loud bars – why????

I was at the Rickshaw a few days ago and there were several people with dogs in the bar. Normally that’s chill as long as the dogs are well behaved and it’s not a live music or other loud event. But this was karaoke night and the music and singing was SO LOUD. I was so sad and worried for the dogs hearing. The dogs were all visibly agitated and uncomfortable. The owners were of various ages and ignoring their dogs for the most part. One even left their dog, a little spaniel, alone in a booth so they could go sing karaoke. I just can’t comprehend being this selfish and/or oblivious to the needs of another living creature that you are responsible for. Thank you for letting me rant. I see this all over Seattle whenever I go out to loud venues, bars, breweries. What’s wrong with people?
