My dad brings his dog Rufus to the races almost ever weekend. He is very well behaved and loves watching the races and I do mean he watches. Rufus is my dad's new child. No one seems to have a problem when the drivers bring there dogs and tie them up next to the hauler. I bet ten to one that someone will walk in between that trailer at some point. I do agree that bringing the dog inside stores is just down right wrong unless you have a need for one or it is a pet store. The races though are outside in open area pets should be more then welcomed with some rules just like a parks and other places. You need to clean up after your pet. Tracks are now mandating that you pick up our trashes and some are even passing out trash bags. It should be mandatory that you pick up after your pet no matter where you are. You may thing that going to the field at THAT will work but those are soccer fields and part of the fair grounds that again at some point someone will walk through. If you feel like you need to bring your dog bring something to pick up after it.
