Of what use is a baby?[/quote

That baby will grow up supporting your social security and pay the taxes to fix the roads, schools, police and fire. Does a dog do that?

This or on a plane for God's sake like my millennial cousin who got a fake service dog vest for the dog so it can go anywhere and he claims no one is legally allowed to ask him about it. So entitled.


Legally, you are allowed to ask:
- Is it a service dog? (Some agencies/businesses are within their rights to not allow for emotional support animals)
-What has it been trained to do? (But you cannot ask for a demonstration and you basically have to accept any answer)
-Is the animal housebroken?

I’m a nurse and more recently, visitors will bring their dogs and claim it’s an emotional support dog (which is not allowed FYI, only support animals). And no, it’s not a specific age demographic.

I don't know any boomers who answer to that description. Treating dogs like children is a disease that can happen at any age.

Dogs don’t belong around food. They are generally dirty. They walk on who knows what, poop and don’t wipe their ass, and probably have all kinds of nasty things in their fur. It’s fine to have them, but keep them out of restaurants and stores.

I hate dogs , regardless of the generations of their insufferable owners.

She ‘dines’ with you huh. What is it, kibble for the main course and butthole for dessert? Do you offer her a port after as an aperitif?


She rarely eats kibble and the kibble we buy is more than homemade so I make her food and freeze it. And, she shares my food depending on what. What’s the big deal feeding your dog real food?


No one wants your dog in a restaurant. Disgusting.


I don't have a dog, but I'm curious. Why? If the dog lays by their table, and doesn't come in contact with either you, your food, or food preparation in general, what's disgusting about it?


I’ve never seen a dog in a restaurant that doesn’t at least lick someone or something. It’s a rare dog that will sit on the ground and interact with nothing around them.

I love animals, but they’re not clean. They don’t belong in restaurants. It’s also highly disrespectful to people who are allergic and want to be able to eat out without an animal nearby that they’re allergic to.


I get the allergic point. As for licking, if the dog licks its owner, so what? As long as it isn't licking you, your server, or your food, I don't see how it's an issue.

Dogs in general are not useless animals nor are people, but evidently you are an exception and are truly useless. Congratulations.

dogs are infinitely better than you. When you look at a dog you think about money? Are you serious? Sad life

This area is extra into their dogs. All rescues of course.

This is not related to age. I have 20 somethings up to 70 somethings on my block and they ALL have a barking pit mix "rescue" in their postage stamp yard that never gets walked but gets to ride with them to the grocery store.
Someone told me I should "be ashamed of myself" for my kids growing up without a dog.

This is not a generational thing, I see people of all ages doing it.
