[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you OP but after visiting Asheville this past week, I was glad I live here. It's insane there. Dogs in the mall, grocery store, someone was holding their dog at a restaurant and sat them on the counter while she was ordering. I almost walked out. We also have a dog allergy in the family and it makes me mad that people don't take that into consideration. To be honest, if not for allergies and as long as the dog isn't going to the bathroom inside, I really don't care if you bring your dog to Home Depot or even to walk the mall as long as you aren't going into stores. But a restaurant? No.

Look, I get that there are appropriate and inappropriate places to bring kids too. And I try my best not to take my kids to those places. But I would never sit them on a restaurant counter. And now that they are old enough to stay home alone, I don't even drag them to the grocery store if I don't have to. But the fact is, it's illegal to leave a child at home alone. It's not illegal to do so with a dog. That's the difference.[/quote]

Not OP but I really feel for those of you who have a dog allergy in the family, I cant imagine how frustrating that would be.  And not to mention, there are so many people with dog phobias who have been bitten by a dog as a child or just have a general fear of them, and it's really hard for them because theyre EVERYWHERE nowadays.  For me personally, I'm always shocked when I walk through my neighborhood how many people will be walking their dogs off leash and make ZERO effort to leash their dog or control it even when other people are walking nearby.  Sorry, but so many dog owners and simply extremely inconsiderate and oblivious, and that's being generous.  I do carry pepper spray so if the dog went crazy I could use it, but it's really shameful behavior on their part.[/quote]
