Hi Diane, we have run into that a lot but I leave it to the responsibility of the owner. We have enough going on to not have to police that and in my opinion, folks should know better than to bring a dog if they plan to visit a museum:(. I'm a dog owner so I'm sympathetic but only to a point. If the dog is in a completely enclosed car with no a/c or air then I would call the animal control in my city.
