Gordon I don’t think it’s a country/city thing. I grew up in a community with fewer than 300 people and cannot imagine taking a dog along on an appraisal inspection. I thought this was a joke for the first several pages. I suppose showing up with Fido must be a big PR push for some.
Its not for PR, its to keep the chit chat to a minimum. When they open the door and I let the dogs in and say "We're here to appraise your house" they are usually quiet and stand very still. Cuts my inspection time way down. Unless they have cats with a good hiding place. Then it takes a little longer to round up my assistants.
