[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have the easiest dog in the world and we love him as a family member. He's a certified therapy dog who is safe to visit hospitalized children and disoriented Alzheimer's patients, which I take him to do regularly.  He is housebroken, doesn't bark, jump, or bite, is beloved by everyone who meets him, and will stay in a sit-stay away from non-dog people for as long as asked.

AND I would still never, EVER presume that he was welcome to someone else's house.  When we receive an invite, if the person is close enough to us or I know they have their own dog or love dogs, I'll ask whether the invitation extends to my dog, reassuring them in the same breath that I completely understand if not.

Comparisons to kids just don't work, and that is not an insult to dogs.  It's just life.

Sincerely, someone who refuses to be pigeon-holed as a crazy dog lady only because I am also a crazy cat lady, crazy horse lady, and general-purpose crazy lady. [/quote]
