[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you stay on the street off campus it is fine. If you’re in front of the door, especially with special needs kids and tiny kids and allergic kids etc. you’re really just an entitled jerk. No one wants your mangy mutt there.[/quote]

There was a mom with a dachshund at our Mclean elementary who did this every single day, without fail - right smack in front of the exit door. I think the principal finally said something, thankfully. It was absurd. [/quote]

I'd rather be greeted by a cute dachshund than many parents.  Probably nicer.[/quote].

100% agree. Kids also love little dogs like dachshunds and even some medium sized breeds like labs and retrievers. We had a mom always bring her lab to pre-k pickup, she started doing it when he was a puppy for socialization reasons. The kids adored that dog, everyone always wanted to give him a piece of cheese. It’s a great idea to have a little waiting area around schools for pet owners (if you wanna bring a leashed cat, all the more power to you). That way the little ones get exposure and the pets get some practice being around people. And I have dog allergies, this is nothing like peanut allergies or egg allergies or whatever. Unless your child is going to be burying its face into the dogs fur and putting his nose in the dander in an enclosed room, you’re not even going to experience anything. As long as dog owners are responsible and keep their pets leashed and it doesn’t literally say “no dogs” in front of the school door, I don’t see how anyone could object. I suspect some of the parents on here could use a little pet therapy to help with their aggression. [/quote]
