I was in a toy store ver the weekend and someone brought their dog in. The dog ran up to a kid and started barking. She was so scared she burst into tears. Nice.

A few weeks ago, I was in Tysons and saw people rolling their little dog around in a carriage. Now tell me: do you really think that dog was enjoying Tysons? Wouldn’t the dog rather be home on the couch? Why?

We were at the outlets in Freeport Maine last week and all the stores had signs welcoming dogs!

What’s wrong with it is that not everyone wants to be around dogs. I’m allergic and while I steer clear of them in stores it’s obnoxious that the dog is there. It’s a store/market/restaurant it’s perfectly reasonable to expect that an animal NOT be there.

I shouldn't have to keep my dog home because your immune system overreacts!

It's not everyone else's fault that you're cognitively like a toddler.

You wouldn’t last a day in the wild without your Flonase. I cannot help you. I don’t hear you raging about trees and flowers!

I don't have allergies to dogs. Additionally, I'm a grown adult who can function leaving my house without a wubbie.

I always take my dog in Home Depot and Lowe's.

Saw a fella at Home Goods once with a big parrot on his shoulder! It was great!

It's sad and pathetic.

TOTALLY. Watched an older couple bring their 2 teeny dogs to outdoor seating at restaurant across from the fancy Pedry hotel in Baltimore last month. They barked like crazy the whole time and ruined it for everyone. Completely stupid and idiotic and arrogrant people. Grow up, be respectful, and stay at home if your dog can't behave and be quiet.

In Belgium and Switzerland, we noticed large hairy dogs in the restaurant kitchens. Sounds like America is just trying to catch up.

I don't mind if they are in a carrier. Half the time I don't notice it's a dog and not a baby.

Mine can only go to pet stores because he can't understand it's not polite to mark. No home depot for you, mister.

Ahhhmen sista! And at least the two year old has the excuse of being a two year old.

Dogs are disgusting and I despise doggy parents who bring their mutts in places where they don’t belong. I don’t want your slobber, hair, ticks, fleas, and stink in my grocery store. I’m a millennial and this is my biggest hate about our generation, this veneration of animals.

But wouldn’t that spoil the surprise? Maybe it would be better if you put the thought and effort into picking out something yourself, then take it home and giftwrap it. Even better, you could bury it in a flowerbed in your backyard and let your pet dig it up. Think of all the fun you’re depriving her of.

So much better than most people’s little darlings, screaming, crying, getting in the way, and making nuisances of themselves while their parents pretend they don’t exist.
Leave your kids at home! They’re shouldn’t be at the store in a pandemic anyway.

You’re probably one of those people who also think people with intellectual or physical disabilities should be kept out of your sight too.

Nahhh. Just brats who refuse to be disciplined and own their parents.
At least dogs are trained.

I don't have kids or dogs, and I'd absolutely bet that more kids are far, far better behaved than dogs - at least percentage wise.

That said, any person who compares human kids to "fur babies" like dogs clearly has some mild antisocial traits, at best.
