I would have said sorry, the cansy is for teens and children.

An almost middle aged person trick or treating with their poor dog forced into a costume and a stroller does not get rewarded with csndy.

Maybe she is lonely and wanted to get out and about. Who cares. She wasn't hurting anyone.

I workednwith a woman who brought her big dog in everyday. People hardly talked to her and I felt that she used the dog as a prop for social interactions because she seemed to always hope people would want to interact with her dog.
Her dog would block the walkway of our desk aisles.
One of the guys in our aisle had a very sick older dog and never brought that dog in. When he just sort of hinted that his dog needed to see a vet, she went over to him like she was going to hug him and he was like no, put his arms up Ashton fend her off.
That guy understood the boundaries between his work life and personal life. She did not.
I came to feel very sorry for her because it seemed she was very lonely.
She brought that big dog on her subway commute everyday in NYC. Some colleagues mentioned that she probably didn't crate the dog as the MTA policy states.

This is sick. I would have said no to giving them candy.

This story feels off topic, but then I thought about how people would respond if a woman brought her child to work every day.

Pets are definitely not now children. It's a different category. No one would put up with this if it were a child instead of a dog.

My rule is: if you dress up, you get candy. If someone came to my door without a costume and asked for candy for their dressed up dog, I would give them a dog treat.

There are doggie busses! One that will take your dog around on various outings!
