My last sqn crewroom was like the crufts show ring. The odd dog is fine but 3 or 4 of them vieing for attention in the crewroom is alittle much. I'm certainly of the opinion that all should be consulted before releasing the hounds (plus there was enough dog hair in the sqn waggon to stuff a mattress which was out of order) The fact that rank should play a part in whether you can bring a dog in is ridiculous.
