[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at Jersey Mike’s today - i.e. [b]a place that CLEARLY does not allow dogs[/b] - and someone brought their dog inside and leisurely ordered a sub! Everyone was kind of like wtf but [b]no one said anything to him[/b]. It clearly was not a service dog. I am a huge animal lover and have a dog myself, but that rubbed me the wrong way. [/quote]

So they do allow dogs. [/quote]No, not necessarily. Many people in food places are not going to tell you to take your dog outside because they do not want to deal with an angry customer. Some people are just not good with confronta[/quote]

This. It doesn't mean they allow dogs. It means they don't want the headache of dealing with an angry dogmom who's going to go online and write terrible exaggerating reviews about how a business owner hates animals, thereby causing them to lose business.

So many dog owners these days have lost their minds.

If you're ignoring signs and common sense just so you can bring Bella with you everywhere and know that no one is going to call you out, that really just makes you a jerk.[/quote]

New poster. Agree about some (not all) dog owners losing their minds. Not just re: establishments that sell food. I was in Tysons Corner Mall this week. A guy with a tiny white dog on a leash was walking around inside the mall like he was getting his dog exercise (bright clear day outside so this was not about little Fluffy getting soaked by rain).

Later that same visit, a woman with a miniature collie had the dog on a leash with her as she ambled around inside Barnes and Noble.

And tonight two people with a quivering chihuahua were pulling it on its leash through a Home Depot, where there were employees moving huge items like glass patio doors and stacks of plywood around on noisy forklifts, etc. etc. Nothing there to stress out a dog, oh no.

Do owners of small dogs think they get a magical pass on bringing their dogs into malls and stores because "they're just little" or because "well, it's not a place that serves food"?

Huge sense of entitlement at work. Plus probably a big dose of believing "my dog is my baby" and probably "my dog is hypo-allergenic and can't set off anyone's allergies" too. Zero sense of what is and what isn't appropriate or safe--for people or for the dog.
