People taking their dogs into CVS, and other places that sell food

Anyone have any ideas about what services a chihuahua in a stroller at Panera was trained to provide? I'm open to being enlightened.

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

Metro cops have basically stopped enforcing rules on food, boomboxes and panhandling also. This is what is called defining deviancy down.

Oh I forgot to say. Inside Panera. Inside.

Don't you know that yapping creates a safe and supportive space for the dog parent?

Take your dog into a restaurant in Korea and they'll cook it and plate it for you. OK?

I am a huge dog lover but if I saw someone walking a non-service dog through a store that sells any [human] food, packaged or open, I'd be grossed out. It's not sanitary, and simply rude to people who prefer at least the illusion of a clean environment.

I do agree that it is up to the policy of store management, as long as it's within the law.

Mitt Romney said that corporations are people. Yet he put his dog on the roof of his car. At least he had thoughts straight.

Classic DCUM: anti-dog AND an ignorant racist.

Then you shouldn't be a dog owner if you can't carve out some time to walk the beast. Bringing it into a store to satisfy his walk time is uncool

I'm so sick of all the irresponsible pet owners in this area.

If you're too busy/entitled/overbooked to take care of your pet, then don't get one. If you already have one, do the world a favor and give it away.

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.

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

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

That sounds amazing. I would rather eat with 20 dogs than one child.

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!!!

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.

Hahahahaha!!

Dog people are crazy. CRAZY. There is no reason to bring a filthy, highly allergenic animal into a retail environment that sells items for human beings to take back to their homes. 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.

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.
