[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love dogs, and I mostly hate seeing any of them indoors, at all, but especially in restaurants, grocery stores, and other food-specific places. A home depot? Maybe. A pet store? Sure. Beyond that, no. And I don't want to hear how it's your "emotional support" animal. Also no.

Actual service dogs performing actual services are easy to spot, especially in a sea of Covid-era pups. If you NEED a service dog, I hope you have one, and I hope that all the liars, posers, boundary-pushers and excusemakers stay home with their poorly-trained animals and keep out of your way. Your fscking Havanese that just took a crap on the floor isn't performing a service and you and I both know it. Go home.[/quote]

Some of the are well trained.   [b]My dog doesn't like to be home alone as we rarely leave her home alone.[/b]  Home depot , pet stores and other stores allow it.[/quote]

Honestly, who the F cares if your dog doesn't like to be home alone? So what?

Train your dog, and it'll be fine at home.

But honestly, I suspect it's mostly emotionally unstable owners who have attachment issues. Or attention seeking issues. [/quote]

Agreed. Why are the dog's alleged feelings being given greater priority than basic health and human sanitation in human-specific environments? that's mental.[/quote]

I don't get this. How are dogs unsanitary? If anything, your shoes walk in bathrooms and then walk all over the store. The dog is the same...[/quote]

Dogs shed and drool.  And bad owners who bring dogs into stores often let them pee and poop on the floor and just leave it there.[/quote]

I think "often" is a stretch. I have never seen this. [/quote]

I worked in retail and this happened all the time.  We also had a staff member bitten by a dog (literally just stocking shelves) and the dog owner threatened to sue the store because we reported the bite.[/quote]

I walked into a clothing store behind a woman with a dog (BIG sign that said No dogs allowed, can't miss it).  Salesperson was standing right there.  I asked her about the dog and she just shrugged and said it wasn't her problem.  OK, whose problem is it?  It was clearly just a pet and not a service dog.[/quote]
