That said, I wouldn't leave a dog tied out somewhere if you can't look in on them *very* frequently (every minute at least; i.e. a view from a coffee shop window, etc.) Even in Seattle, where I'd imagine theft to be pretty low, they could get hit by a bicycle, honked at, tripped over by a pedestrian, or just hugged by a child (which many dogs don't like). Ruff wear is a good brand, usually. I bought their winter dog boots, though, and those were a flop...couldn't get them to stay on.

I just haven't found any reviews of it to know if it is worth the cost. Regarding leaving dogs outside stores, I’ve been thinking about ordering one of these:
