To leave dogs outside of food shops

There are a lot of dogs around here so most of the pub/restaurants around here have dog sections and none dog sections and local food shops have water bowls and hitching hooks outside so dogs just don't go in - there just isn't space, pushchairs tend to get left outside too if the occupant is old enough to toddle round. Even the National Trust house has a no dogs restaurant and a Muddy Boots cafe where dogs are welcome.

Went in a pub in Chorley where an old couple had two little dogs sat on the seats and eating off the table.I did not eat there! When we ran pubs we never minded well behaved dogs in the tap room which did not have carpet. Would not dream of taking my dog in M & S. I was in a McDonald's when it started raining heavily and a woman ran in with two dogs and sat there drying them with tissues. She did not even buy a drink yet staff never challenged her.
