If you are so deathly allergic to dogs that you can’t be within a few feet of them, it is your responsibility to stay away from all places that could have dogs. That burden of protecting yourself does not belong to society.
It belongs to you.
If you are that deathly allergic to dogs or pet dander, you need to accept the risks of going out in public…..or you should stay home.
It’s that simple.
So we should accommodate all other disabilities but someone with a serious allergy shouldn’t be able to go grocery shopping?
Who is being denied grocery shopping?
If someone is deathly allergic to dogs and their dander, there are grocery delivery services and grocery drive-up services available to them. They will not starve. This is just as much an accommodation as a wheelchair ramp, braille, etc.
For the record, I am not condoning people bringing dogs where they are not allowed, but there are LOTS of stores and restaurants where they are permitted. If people have life-threatening allergies to dogs and dander, they shouldn't be around any dog owners....and that's practically impossible to avoid, I'd think.
You are psychotic.
DP. Why? Deadly allergies to passing dogs aren’t common if they exist at all.

Some of this stems from a change in how the lives of animals, especially pets, are valued.
If I were on my way back from hiking with my dog I were to run into a grocery store on a 60 degree day to grab a gallon of milk, I run the risk of having someone call animal control, even if I were gone for less than 15 minutes. The Humane Society lobbies for laws prohibiting pet owners from leaving animals in their vehicles for any length of time, regardless of the temperature. This might explain why some people bring their dogs into stores with them.

So weird. It would never occur to me to bring my dog to any store besides a pet store where they are clearly allowed and welcomed. And believe me, I’m just as obsessed with my dog as the next person but dogs aren’t humans.

The people that do this are emotionally stunted, like a 4 year old that brings their stuffed toy with them everywhere because they need the security.
Or, they need the attention from others. Also a form of being emotionally stunted.
Yep, this. I truly believe this is a form of mental illness.
I love dogs but I agree. Treating a dog like it's some kind of emotional security blanket isn't good for anyone, especially the dog.

Dogs in all hotels now is so gross too. A friend of mine recently stayed at a hotel that allows pets in the rooms and she ended up bringing home fleas.

Get used to it.
No. And I dont let your dog climb on me, or I'll pepper spray you both.
Did I say anything about her climbing on you, dummy? Just seeing her is all that’s needed to irritate you.
And by the way - when you pepper spray strangers without provocation - make sure you’re mentally prepared for the beating you’ll receive shortly thereafter. Pepper spray doesn’t really bother me (and lots of other people) so thinking you can just pepper spray someone and they’ll crumble into a ball is a good way to get the asskicking of a lifetime.
Please seek help.

Plenty of stores do have a sign on the door saying something like "Service Dogs Only". But many entitled dog owners just ignore them and continue entering the store.

I once saw a woman carrying a swaddled baby in her arms in a grocery store. When I got closer, I noticed the "baby's" scaly tail peeking out of the blankets just before the face of a 3 ft. long iguana stuck a nasty forked tongue out at me. I would have preferred a dog.

I was sitting behind a fake service dog on a plane recently. Reason I suspect he was fake is that he kept looking behind at us. The lady next to me got so mad! But I loved it. He was a cutie. I love with dogs smile and seem interested in what you’re up to.
They are not smiling nor are they interested in you. You sound like a simpleton.
Dogs can definitely show interest in people. Many dogs are very social toward humans. Are you totally unfamiliar with dogs?
Dogs show interest in people but not for the reasons humans show interest in people. Dogs are either assessing whether you're a threat or whether you can give them something they want. Anthropomorphizing dogs isn't good for them. For instance, humans like hugs. Hugging a dogs isn't a good thing to do as it will trigger their fight or flight.
Asking dogs to be like people isn't acting respectfully to your dog either. It’s a dog.
Some dogs just love getting attention from humans. They want random strangers to speak to them or pet them. They get excited to “greet” new people. That dog could very well have hoped the pp would give him attention.
This. My dog loves when people come to our house, be it the plumber or our best friends. He loves to “host.”
So cute! Love that term and going to steals it.😁

There have been studies done showing that a dog's brain lights up in the same love areas as human's brains when they see the people they love. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/08/science/gregory-berns-dogs-brains.html Have you actually been around a well socialized dog? Some dogs just love giving hugs for the same reason as human's like giving hugs, because they like the human contact.
