You're probably right there. Not much call for it. And unlikely to
be rendered until we get vector
carto, and maybe not even then. But, analogously to Internet Rule 34
(if it exists, there is porn
of it, no exceptions): if it exists, somebody will want to map it. So
let's standardize on a tag: to
reduce the number of people creating ad hoc tags for it and to avoid
somebody inventing a silly
tag like landuse=dog_corral or tourism=dog_loop.
Naturally Brooklyn NY has to come to come along and complicate things:

Why tie your dog to a hook for free when instead you could pay for a
private climate-controlled doghouse on the sidewalk, complete with a
smartphone app that locks the door and shows you the doghouse webcam?
I don't think any of these are mapped yet (in fact I think this
company's in decline because I used to see these all over and no longer
do). I wouldn't want to tag these as "hitching_point" because there's no
hitch. I might have been inclined to shoehorn them into
amenity=animal_boarding, but it since they fill the same need at the
hitching points I wonder if there should be a tag that could apply to
both of these items.
