Tag along

There are loads of people activities where bringing a kid as a tag-along is the right way to go.  These range from the simple versions of grocery shopping, running to the store or the fun of heading to the mall.  Dogs are the tag-along and never see the other side of the coin.  Not that dogs wouldn't like the attention, but there are places one wouldn't drag a person or dog to under any circumstances, like a tattoo shop.  It's been established that dogs are smarter than people for lack of paying for tattoos, but dogs are smarter than the people seen recently dragging their kids into the tattoo shop.  That's a long-boring wait on a ride to nowhere.
