So now everyone else has to deal with your dog out in public? Entitlement at its finest.

We have to deal with a lot of things! One person's 'entitlement' is another person's necessity.

And how is a cat in a stroller personally affecting you? Perhaps the cat has cancer and the owner wants to let the cat outside for air but knows that the kitty needs to be contained.

Myob! This cat isn't even going to bark, slobber or shed on you!

I think that this isn't a pet issue as much as it is someone deciding that the rules do not apply to them. I have a dog I love very much. She loves to come in the car to pick the kids up from school (she is allowed on the school grounds, I confirmed with the school when she was a puppy) but I would never take her somewhere that she is not supposed to be. If there is a sign stating that only service animals can enter, she is not going. People also use their cell phones when driving, fly through school zones when the lights are blinking, and disregard no turn on red signs all the time. Unfortunately, I think that this is our new normal. I'm always struck by the parents I see doing these things with their kids in the car...modeling the behavior that the rules do not apply to them.

Bringing a dog everywhere you go is never ever a necessity. Ever. It’s a choice 100% of the time.

Unless you have a legitimate medical need, where a dog/animal has been trained to perform a specific medical task to assist it's handler, then there is NEVER ever a "necessity" to bring your dog with you.

I put my cat in a pet stroller to take him to the vet because we live just a few blocks away and there's no point in driving, plus he's heavy. I do always feel a bit silly doing it, and he hates it, but the big boy needs his shots.

We all deal with many things each day that we would prefer not to. It’s called being in public. Talk about entitled!

Yes, we all deal with many things each day that we're prefer not to, but inconsiderate and selfish people don't care.

Do you WANT to be an inconsiderate and selfish person? If you're bringing your dog everywhere, this is a choice you're making.

You can also choose decency if you wanted to be a decent person.

Do you ever use plastic or travel by car or airplane? Do you WANT to be a selfish person? Because of your actions my child was fed plastic infused breast milk and will grow up in a world of climate change struggles. That is a selfish choice.

I don't have kids, but any time some dipshit dog owner tries to make a connection between kids and dogs, it's clear how insane that person is.

And the fact that you're comparing people bringing dogs everywhere to going on a plan or plastic? You're deranged.

Nice try but everything isn't the same. Bringing your dog to the grocery store because you don't want to have to take him home to crate him and then come back to the store is NOT the same as a bus taking longer at a stop to assist someone in a wheelchair getting on and secured, or a woman in labor asking to be allowed to the front of a long exit line so she can get to the hospital, or a deaf person asking for an accommodation at the movie theater.

Some people have actual needs and being unable to comply with legal bans on dogs in certain places is not one of them (unless you have an actual trained service animal, and no, your "emotional support" claims do not count). Dog bans are pretty much always for public health reasons. It is unsanitary to have dogs in places where foods is being prepared, served, or otherwise exposed to the air, because dogs shed, release dander, and salivate in ways that may contaminate the food. In certain indoor settings, dogs are banned to accommodate people with pet allergies who actually need to be there. Dogs are often not allowed from spaces designed for children because the small size and unpredictable nature of young kids make the risks of a dog biting a child or knocking one down unacceptably high. And so on. Service dogs are excepted from these rules because the need of the person using the service animal is considered greater than these risks, and they are chosen and trained extensively to be non-reactive and pose less of a danger. Increasingly service dogs are also chosen for being low-shed dogs who may be more hygienic in enclosed spaces, not least because the people who need service animals sometimes have allergies too, and also often do not have the ability to religiously vacuum their homes after a high-shed dog.

Anyway, we get it. You are selfish. We knew that already.

I have recently seen a not insignificant amount of lone older ladies carting little dogs around in actual strollers. The last place I was at in a public waiting room where I saw this, the woman kept trying to approach families with babies and saying over and over again "LOOK I HAVE A BABY TOO". It was bizarre and I felt bad for the woman but also leave your dog at home you complete and utter weirdo.

That’s sad.

And you’re awful.

What, for rightly pointing out that there is clearly an element of mental illness for many of these people that cannot leave their house without their dog?

For mocking the “lone old ladies.”

Interesting, thanks for taking the time to explain! I had no idea. I did see a woman trying to walk her cat on a leash outside once, the cat was not having it and refusing to budge.

My dog is far more needy than my kids.
