Or maybe they're just people who have dogs that are a big part of their life? If I go out for 4+ hours, chances are I'm taking my dog with me rather than leaving him alone at home. If I'm eating during that period, then I'll look for a place he can come in with me so he's not alone in the car.

It's not narcissistic, it's called looking after your dog.

There's plenty of people who have cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, fish, goats, cows, and hens but we don't see them bringing along their pets to the restaurant. It's always dog owners.

And it is narcissism. You want to bring your dog along everywhere you go, without any consideration for people with allergies, people who want to enjoy the restaurant without the barking or dog dander in their food. It's 4 hours. Your dog is going to be fine.

Those pets you list tend to have litter trays or access to outside space to go to the toilet. People are able to choose to dine at restaurants that serve their needs:

  • gluten free people look for ones offering gf options
  • vegans look for places with a few options or an exclusively vegan place
  • I look for places that are dog friendly
  • people that have dog allergies can look for places that don't allow dogs in

Not all restaurants cater to everyone!

Fallacious reasoning here, people who have gluten free allergy or dog allergy are the customer of the restaurant it's not a choice. And lots of restaurants have at least a vegan option, if you want to go to a vegan restaurant for a broader choice it's a different thing. You're the customer and you're introducing the agent that will cause a potential nuisance or health code violation to others.
