I did not fill out your survey because I come at the question from the other direction; I am the driver. As the driver, I have the right to refuse your dog because I also have the right to refuse you. I am not obligated to give you a ride at all, and if I do, I can say yes or no to the dog, to dropping off a package at your mother's house on the way, to your best friend's toddler, whatever. I might have a good reason and I might not, but it's my car and I always have the right to say no. If it is a work situation where everyone is carpooling to a certain location or something like that, then it is your boss's responsibility to make sure you and your dog have a ride, but not mine.
As a matter of common decency, I of course should think twice before saying yes to giving you a ride if I don't want to accommodate your dog, and I should take into consideration that the dog is not just along for companionship.
