[Tracy Carcione]

I take my dog to bars, too.  And I did in college as well, when I drank
considerably more.  Glade was cool; she could handle it.

What I'd call a jerk is someone who routinely shouts at his dog, or hits
it, or treats it like a robot.
I know people who treat the dog like a robot, and ignore it pretty much. 
It may not be abuse, but I wouldn't want a dog I raised going to such a
person.Fair?  Well maybe not, but I still wouldn't want it.
JMO.
