make 3 overlapping circles, label them D, C, and F
4 have dogs and cats, put 4 in the region overlapped by D andC but not F
3 have dogs and fish, put 3 in the region overlapping D and F, but not C
1 has a cat and a fish, put 1 in the region overlapping C and F, but not D
Now look at circle D, we already have a total of 7 in there, but there were 14 that have dogs. So the region of D not overlapping anything is 7
Same way, 5 into rest of C, 1 into rest of F
Add them all up, I get 21
But there were 26 patrons, so 5 did not have any of the 3 kinds of pets
