It’s really disgusting.

I’m sorry.

I have a toddler, and have had dogs. My toddler is literally a walking Petri dish. Look at all the threads on here about whether someone should take their kid to a pool party, to daycare, to whatever, within hours of fever/ vomiting/ diarrhea.

I’ve never caught anything from my dogs. I’ve caught lots of things from my toddler, and other people’s kids. And kids run rampant through most stores and restaurants.

So what exactly is disgusting about dogs again?

I've caught lots of things from people too but never from a rat.

So what exactly is disgusting about rats again?

Bad example as people don't come into contact with rats that often

You are disgusting and ignorant. You sound like a fridgid, cold-hearted person. So, let's talk about cats.
Cats carry far more bacteria than dogs. Cats crap and piss in litter boxes and they walk and scratch in that same litter. Mouth bacteria in cats is also far worse than in dogs. A dog's mouth is cleaner than a human mouth.

I was at Jersey Mike’s today - i.e. a place that CLEARLY does not allow dogs - and someone brought their dog inside and leisurely ordered a sub! Everyone was kind of like wtf but no one said anything to him. It clearly was not a service dog. I am a huge animal lover and have a dog myself, but that rubbed me the wrong way.

True. I'm a PP with a cat and dog, but I have no idea where/ when I commented. I have to give my cat a pill twice a day with my finger in his throat. Oh, I guess I forgot to wash my hands after that before I went to CVS and picked up a lot of items, read a lot of labels, then put them down. You are likely to get more from my finger germs than my dog, who is carried, and allowed in my neighborhood CVS/ grocery store/ farmer's market. I'm just saying- the enemy is maybe not what it seems to be.

PS. I always wash my hands after giving the cat a pill. But what if others don't?

So they do allow dogs.

And what about Whole Foods? I recently saw a woman with a dog, half the time carried and half the time walked on its leash, completely ignoring the Whole Foods policy of no pets. I heard her say "service dog", which was most likely bullshit, or "emotional support dog", which is not even covered under the ADA. These people are just trying to slip through the system and get away with it. They are actually making it difficult and unfair for real service-dog owners. FYI, about 1 in 3 human beings is allergic to dogs. I would be willing to bet that even more people are afraid of dogs than allergic to them. Leave them at home or outside! Nobody will steal your pets!

I love dogs but I don't get taking them everywhere and especially not into food establishments

And many people, buying food or other items, go into CVS specifically to fill prescriptions, many of which are for allergy. There is no need to add to the misery of allergy.

No, not necessarily. Many people in food places are not going to tell you to take your dog outside because they do not want to deal with an angry customer. Some people are just not good with confronta

It's even worse to bring one into places where human beings are preparing and consuming food and drink.

Your dog is not adorable. No one wants to steal your dog. Dogs are a massive energy, money and time suck. Stealing one off the street would be insane. Could it happen? I guess so, because we've established that dog people are crazy. But if you're so worried about it, leave little Precious at home where it's safe.

What if I brought my (much cleaner) cat into public places with me and it caused a frenzy among all these so-called "well behaved" dogs? Somehow I suspect I would be blamed for "inciting" their behavior. But see, that's the thing about dogs - they don't have intelligence or decision making capability. They have instinct and (if you're lucky) training. Unfortunately, instinct trumps everything for animals, and if something primal is stirred in them, you cannot control their behavior. This is how small children get mauled by the neighbor's dog (or even the family pet). This is how barking becomes a public nuisance. This is why there is dog shit in the park.

Dog people are divorced from reality, and yes, they are entitled. They feel their favorite kind of animal deserves special privileges that other animals do not enjoy (for very good reasons). They are wrong. Dogs are simply one of millions of types of non-human animals. They do not deserve human privileges.

Dog people are nuts.

So are you saying I shouldn't take my dog to a restaurant??

This. It doesn't mean they allow dogs. It means they don't want the headache of dealing with an angry dogmom who's going to go online and write terrible exaggerating reviews about how a business owner hates animals, thereby causing them to lose business.

So many dog owners these days have lost their minds.

If you're ignoring signs and common sense just so you can bring Bella with you everywhere and know that no one is going to call you out, that really just makes you a jerk.

Bro op is hella rude. If you don’t like dogs, don’t enter dog-friendly establishments. Better yet, online shop. Not my fault that cute puppies get your panties in a twist.

Same to the rude dog owners. Don't enter a store that has a no dog sign on the entrance door if you have your dog with you unless it's a service dog.
