The winter isn't so bad. Dogs can handle the cold better than the heat. So leaving a dog in the car for a short time in the winter would be ok. (In a crate of course.) You could even cover the crate with a blanket to hold the heat in if you needed to.

As for service dogs, they cannot refuse to let a service dog in, breed doesn't matter. In fact I understand they can't ask to have the need demonstrated or things like that either.

I took Digger through the mall one time. It was before we moved to TN and we came down for a visit and it was to warm to leave him in the car so we carried him through the mall and knowone said anything to us. We also carried him through the caverns here in East TN and also in VA. We took him with us on a lobster boat in Maine also. We take Chip into Big Lots here. It is a great way to train them to behave themselves around people.

I haven't gotten another pet since Katie died but, when I do I'd like to be able to take her wherever I wanted to go. One never knows where they will be accepted for sure. Of course they're places like the grocery store, doctor's offices, restaurants,etc you wouldn't want to take them but, I don't see any problem with everywhere else. After all, who could resist a sweet Corgi on lead!
