Yes! +100.

+1,000,000

You realize not everyone is a dog lover? There are those of us with allergies (like me) and people who’ve had bad experiences with dogs.

And yet somehow in Scotland, Ireland, England and France there are dogs everywhere and people aren’t dropping dead.

Never seen that there.

Have the exact same thoughts about entitled parents/kids. Now you know how the public feels and views you.

Children are human beings. Dogs are not. You have to be joking.

This pro-dog agenda is very weird.

+1000


And it makes them look very bad when they say such stupidity

Please leave your dogs at home. I don't want to see touch or interact with them

Get used to it.

No. And I dont let your dog climb on me, or I'll pepper spray you both.

Did I say anything about her climbing on you, dummy? Just seeing her is all that’s needed to irritate you.


And by the way - when you pepper spray strangers without provocation - make sure you’re mentally prepared for the beating you’ll receive shortly thereafter. Pepper spray doesn’t really bother me (and lots of other people) so thinking you can just pepper spray someone and they’ll crumble into a ball is a good way to get the asskicking of a lifetime.

What gives? At the pharmacy and supermarket, I’ve asked the store managers what their pet policy is and they’ve explained that pets are actually not permitted, but their poor staff members are berated when they approach pet owners, so they’ve given up.

I’m livid. Some people are allergic to pets and should be able to run their errands without having to calculate whether to take medication beforehand and how to avoid these pets in close quarters.

Am I missing something? Does this have to do with the breaking down of social mores post-COVID? Or have the number of bona fide emotional support animals multiplied recently? Especially when there is more than one adult, I just don’t understand why one of them can’t stand outside with the dog. Why can’t they leave the dog at home in the first place?

I can totally see this. I am a teacher and dogs aren't allowed on campus (there are signs and the principal has mentioned it repeatedly in newsletters) but people bring them anyways. I have noted the rule to people only to have them roll their eyes at me, laugh at me, or explain why it doesn't apply to them. It's not worth it.

That does need to stop. Anyone out there breaking the rules with their dogs, please stop giving the rest of us a bad name. Respect the rules, and don't assume dogs are welcome. Ask before you leave the house.

Not PP but no I will not. And I have complained to managers and had many selfish dog owners removed from restaurants when they try to come in with their "cute" barking chihuahua. It's selfish, uncivilized, and not okay. And I love seeing the dog owners humiliatingly have to trudge out

I can count on one hand the number of times that I can recall seeing one in a department store, grocery store, pharmacy, etc. I see them all the time at beer gardens, restaurant patios, etc., but that’s about it.

I’m just not convinced that dogs in store where they don’t belong has become a national emergency.

NP. Do you get out much? Be honest

All the time. I live near Logan.

Are you generally cognizant and aware of your surroundings?

Do you realize that you are offensively ageist?

Do you realize you are offensively removed from reality and gaslighting OP?

Oh goody, another person who doesn't know how to properly use the term "gaslighting." And a bully to boot.

"Many?" Seriously? Where do you live where all of the restaurants are full of chihuahuas?

You sound like the Wicked Which of the West: "I'll get you, my pretty! And you're little dog too!"

Hmmm, it seems critical thinking isn't your strong suit since that was an obvious example and not a literal description of each dog. (Duh). Your thinking skills are as poor as your awareness of social cues and consideration for others

I like my dogs the same way I like my humans: polite and well behaved. I don’t like people who bring their (non service animal) dogs inside restaurants and grocery stores. I don’t like dogs who bark excessively or try to be intimidating.

My dog is a good boy in the right settings, but he is not a good boy when surrounded by food he can easily reach (tall dog), so I wouldn’t let him near a food display.

To clarify: my problem with dogs in restaurants and grocery stores isn’t that they’ll steal food (like my dog would). It’s that I think that’s unhygienic.

No, I think you're exaggerating. Plain and simple. You have not had "many selfish dog owners removed from restaurants." You're full of it.

I have. And I love doing it. And I can say a lot of restaurants are getting sick of it too and are eager to have a customer complain so they can have an excuse to have the trashy dog owner removed
