I’m a huge fan of animals and I turn into a big slushy puddle of love when I see them anywhere. There’s one guy in the Bucks area who regularly brings his two dogs to parties and in the morning they run around off the leads and say hello to everyone – all very heart-warming 🙂
However, I’ve always had a couple of reservations and maybe someone who has dogs can clear these up for me:
– Don’t dogs have very sensitive hearing? Isn’t is confusing/disorientating/painful to be near such incredibly loud music and deep bass?
– Is it safe for the dogs, what with people stumbling around all over the place in the dark and whatnot?
From a personal perspective, I don’t mind seeing dogs at parties at all, until I’m spanked out of my face, at which point I find it quite an alien experience. But that’s the substances, not the animals 🙂
Also, has anyone who’s taken their dogs to a party gotten any verbal abuse for it? Like, people saying it’s not fair on the animals or whatever? I always imagine you might catch the shitty end of someone a little over-zealous.
A friend of mine said that back in the day she used to see pikeys fighting dogs at raves. It was often where they’d meet up to actually fight them and take bets etc. That sounds completely hideous, and I’ve no doubt whatsoever that any of the people I party with would try and peacefully put a stop to that kind of behaviour.
