There's a particular, subtle phrase hidden very deep in literally the first sentence of the comment you're responding to that I think kinda refutes your entire tangent: "if a dog isn't bothered by it..."

This would assume that as the dog owner you already know your dog is not going to be stressed by fireworks and/or groups of people. If we were talking about a dog which hadn't yet ever seen/heard/experienced fireworks then I'd agree that your described scenario is a possible outcome, but that would contradict literally the first 7 words of the comment you're responding to

    You missed the entire closing sentence. Your dog is good to YOU. A public event is not a place for pets. It doesn't matter how well you know your dog because your dog doesn't know a stranger.

    Adding to that, if your dog bites someone are you okay with taking to the vet and paying $500 to kill it? Are you okay with taking the blame entirely and potentially getting your shit absolutely wrecked because of it?

    This is such a stupid conversation. A dog is a possession. You own it. This like asking if you can bring a knife or gun to a fireworks show, it just doesn't make sense. Both those two things are infinitely safer than a dog because you can predict what they'll do.

    What is wrong with people?
