[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dogs should not be AT the bus stop. That is to say, it's fine to walk your dog with your kids to the bus stop, but IMO the dog should be stopped 10-15 feet away from the bus stop itself, so your kids and any other kids who want to interact with the dog can do so, but no one is involuntarily interacting with the dog.

What about people just out walking their dogs? Do you really expect them to go out of their way to avoid bus stops? [/quote]

When our kids were school aged, I preferred to stay on the perimeter with our dog. The bus still can be loud and chaotic and I think our dog liked the distance too. If kids wanted to calmly come over to pet her that was fine.

Our kids are grown now and it doesn’t bother me at all to cross the street when walking our current dog if kids are at the bus stop. I have no need to barrel through a group of kids with her when I can easily cross then cross back. We are in the suburbs so it doesn’t involve crossing a busy road though. [/quote]

I live in NYC and there are probably kids on the other side of the street as well. The sidewalk is just crowded, everyone has to learn to live with people, dogs, bikes (illegally on sidewalk), scooters, etc. City kids grow up pretty fast learning the world does not revolve around them. [/quote]
