Eh. I choose not to have a dog because I don’t like dogs, so leave your dogs at home where you can enjoy them and I don’t have to. It’s the same reason I don’t like dogs pooping and peeing on my lawn and in my flowerbeds and their owners dropping their little crap bags in my garbage bin. I don’t have a dog because I don’t like those things. You want it, you deal with it.

No. I mean, just no. If I'm permitted to bring them, I will. End.Of.Story.

You can live in your sealed bubble in your pee-free yard.

Also, you would be in the fetal position in Europe. There are dogs everywhere in many countries over there. On tours. In restaurants.

Yes, you are the most important person anywhere. Whatever you want is the most important.

I'm not at all shocked to see that PP has pugs.

NP here:

I've been panned on C-D for saying I frequently take my English Bulldog into Home Depot with me. She's very, very well behaved, and the store policy allows for dogs.

If you are severely allergic, of you don't like dogs, you should stay out of stores with dog-friendly policies. I never take my dog into stores that don't allow dogs.

It's really simple. I really don't understand the posters upset that dog owners are taking dogs into stores that allow dogs.

1. I live in Europe, and no, the person to whom you are responding would NOT be considered "ignorants." You would, though: you sound so crude and rough. You would be the typical loud-voiced American every shop assistant in the tourist zone you frequent falls over to help, and you would mistake their eagerness to take your money for acceptance.

2. What do people on this thread even mean when they insist that dogs are allowed many places in Europe? Really, what? I lived in Germany for a year, and it was NOT this way. Germans prioritized children over dogs. I lived in central Europe, and it was not that way. I lived in Eastern Europe, and it was certainly not that way: dogs were routinely "culled" from the streets. Now I live in another Western European country, and I haven't EVER seen a dog in a restaurant, supermarket, pharmacy, or any other shop.

3. Your little Euro trip in which you walked around the center of some capitals, and maybe saw a handful of other tourist sites, does not entitle you to talk about what people do "in Europe." You COULD bring your dog with you to those tourist-scene restaurants and areas because everyone there wants your money. Not because they embrace your loud-mouthed American entitlement.

I've lived in England and I too have to say that I never saw this animal heaven that this poster talks about. Dogs were not allowed in places like restaurants or supermarkets unless they were service dogs.

Then assholes like you will complain the dog barked. I really don't see how the mere presence of a dog affects your purchase of a bag of Cheetos.

So then leave your animal outside. Or in the car. If it's that important, your dog didn't need to come with you.

You can't leave your animal tied up outside a store OP. FFS. They are not bicycles.

WTF? Of course you can. Your animal is an animal (and not a highly trained service one, at that), not a human being. People do it all the time. You nor your doggy are special. Leave it at home, in the car, or outside.

Different poster. I would never do that. My dog is adorable and would be stolen immediately. No way.

Dogs shouldn't be allowed on planes either unless they're service dogs. Want to take your animal on a plane, then it should go in a cage, in the cargo area.

Saw lady put her dog in cart in Whole Foods. She was outside and seems done with groceries trying to get to her car. Yeah I thought it was unhygienic. I lay plastic on cart for that reason while shopping .Yeah dogs constantly poop in our yard . Some owners pick up after their dogs some don’t . I hope they get it on the way back . Yeah I avoid edges of my yard. Trash day bins were emptied . Two kids were walking their dogs decided to use my bin I knock on my window kind motioning “no no “. They understood noded their heads and most likely used my neighbors empty bin. Hopefully they doubled bag sorry for my neighbor . I literally try to get pull the trash bin out of steet asap so I wouldn’t have to clean burst poopy bag later that week for the bottom of the trash bin I do not have dog so I don’t feel like cleaning their poop.
And yes I am allergic to dogs . I had some dog jump on my back while walking in neighborhood and when I turned around the owner was smiling and thought it was adorable. He even said how friendly his dog . I don’t care I am not seeking friendship with some random dog . It was a big dog dont know the breed . I gave him stink eye but he was busy adoring his dog after the fact . Dog was unleashed .I actually love dogs but I certainly dislike some dog owners .dear dog owners please be respectful to other people and their properties . Thank you !

You all sound like some really hateful people who don't know how to love or have never been loved. And it's funny because you've all gathered in this little forum and confirmed your own bias as if it's actual proof of your righteousness. The anger you feel either stems from unreasonableness or ignorance. Have a really sad, narcissistic life. Hope one day you actually love something more than yourself and understand how to give love, so that you'll see not everything is actually about you.

This.

If you don't like it then you're going to have to DEAL WITH IT or LEAVE the establishment. You are the entitled ones who want people to cater to what you want, even if they aren't breaking any laws or rules. You are the problem.

You are delusional. You are the one everyone only tolerates in the friend group.

hahaha don't be so angry. What does my friend group have to do with bringing dogs with where they are allowed??? (btw all my friends love dogs, and we think there's something wrong with people who don't) You are the delusional one if you think people are going to stop bringing dogs where they are allowed. I'll be content knowing you have to deal with it.

Oh my. The things people get worked up about. If the establishment allows dogs, chances are there will be a dog or two there. I can understand if you're allergic to them, but this sort of random objection just seems silly.

I think it's accepted by everyone that Guide Dogs are the exception.

They are the exception. Guide dogs are necessary for some people to be able to leave the house and be in the world and I’m pretty sure they are covered by the Americans With Disabilities Act.

They are that well behaved. I would never in a million years bring my dog into a store unless it was a Pet Store. I think they are just about the greatest things in the world. But they are dogs. They do not belong in CVS.

If CVS says they belong, then they do.

CVS isn't going to stop you from wearing a tutu with clown shoes, or drenching yourself with offensive perfume, or smacking your gum and sniffling, but if you come in doing any of those things, people are going to think you are obnoxious and powerfully irritating. See how that works? It's the same with bringing in your dog. CVS will take your money, but that doesn't mean you are a respectful, likeable person who isn't irritating the hell out of everyone around you.

I don't care. See how THAT works?
