Exactly. I bring my dog places where my dog is allowed. I love having him with me, he is well behaved and loves going on errands. I don't bring him places where he's not allowed. You are complaining that dogs are allowed more places than you'd like them to be. That's a different issue. Too bad for you, the world is moving toward more places allowing dogs, as dogs become a more fundamental part of our lives.

There are places that don't allow dogs, still. You should vote with your dollars and go to those places. Or stay home since normal life seems to bother you so much.

You are a RIOT, PP!!!

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

np. no, I'm not going to do that. I am normalizing bringing dogs into stores like this. you will get over it.

And when the dog lifts its leg and leaves it puddle in the store, what happens if someone slips in it? And, of course, it will fall to the person making minimum wage to clean up after the Most Entitled who insist on taking their 'friendly' dogs into stores.

Have you ever owned a dog? Because that's not a realistic fear.

This is ridiculous. You do realize that all over Europe dogs go into shops and restaurants and there are no problems with urination?

Unfortunately, an allergy to dogs is a rather fundamental part of my life. Should allergy sufferers suffer more because folks insist on dragging their four-legged dust mops on to buses, in restaurants and to pharmacies?

In Germany, people will take little rat dogs into restaurants, yet insist that children are unwelcome there.

You're out of touch. Pets are a $60 billion dollar industry in the US - and that figure is growing every year, because people have more of them, and are treating them more like family members. I don't care if you don't do that. I feel badly you're missing out on what I think of as a wonderful part of life, but that's for you to decide.

In fact, I have two dogs. And it's a challenge reasoning with them in English.

And I'm out of this conversation now. I don't know why I let myself get drawn back into these stupid goddamn DCUM threads started by dog-haters.

I work in animal welfare. I love animals. I avoid the pets section here because it's such a nasty cesspool.

Except that family members don't euthanize other family members. Oh wait, Mary Cheh thinks that's ok.

See, the cops know this isn't a hill worth dying on. Some DCUM posters should probably take that clue.

I love my dog. But it's a dog. I walk it, take it in the car, let it run in the back yard. But I don't think I'm entitled to foist my dog on others, especially in close quarters and where food is served. It's not exactly a "wonderful part of life" when those who are fearful or dogs, or allergic to them, have to endure others' lack of consideration. I get that many smokers view smoking as a wonderful part of life, but fortunately the places where nonsmokers involuntarily have to put up with their hobby have become fewer.
