In a nutshell, after my first visit to Europe (Scandanavia), your culture is a little more "live and let live" than ours. There's a lot less "political correctness" in European culture, which makes life a little more laid back and allows for more tolerance. Less lawyers, too, maybe? And keep in mind our society is much less homogenous than some. Did see my share of uncontrolled kids while there (yes, locals) but in Denmark people were surprised and almost fearful if we asked to pet their dog.
I would not call America dog-unfriendly in the least. There are places that are but lots of areas in New England LOVE dogs. Ours ate with us yesterday at an outdoor eating area in Kennebunkport, ME. They get to run free on the beaches in the off-season. Many of the stores in the coastal towns of the N. Shore of MA like Newburyport, Rockport and Gloucester welcome dogs into their stores. The websites recommended will help you find places to take your dogs.
