Totally agree. I was in Yellowstone recently and pets are not allowed in some of the areas. It's for the benefit of the pets. For example, at the Old Faithful because the chance of them falling off the railing into the hot spring is pretty high. These idiots just put the fake service dog vest on and proudly walk their dog on the trail. So stupid.

If the store allows dogs, your DC should stay home.

I disagree. A parent may need to bring a child to a store - maybe they don't have childcare and can't leave a child home alone safely. Pet owners can leave a pet at home. The default should be that the pet stays at home. I don't remember seeing random pets in stores and supermarkets when I was growing up. Somehow, pet owner expectations have changed and no one has thought through whether these new expectations are reasonable. Is the pet-friendly store liable if an elderly customer trips on a leash in a narrow store aisle? What if the dog bites someone? Or someone slips after stepping on a puddle of dog urine?

Girl, bye. It’s not our responsibility to make adjustments for your kid. I will always take my well-behaved dog places where she’s allowed.

Maybe don’t have kids if you don’t have the resources to handle them.

This is a perfect example of where our culture has gone.

Exactly. People shouldn’t have kids if they don’t have the means to care for them. The world isn’t going to stop because you (or another) have a child with dog allergies and no childcare. Dogs will continue to be in dog-friendly places. Make better choices.

Children = human (meaning belongs in places where humans need to shop for their needs)
Dog = not human (menqaing doesn't belong in a place where humans need to buy their food)

does that help?

Where did I say differently. It’s almost like you’re arguing with yourself.

What I am saying is that I will take my dog wherever she’s allowed. If a store is dog friendly and you don’t like seeing digs there, you should take it up with management.

That’s not it. It’s more not prioritizing our dogs over your humans.

It’s not my job to take care of your kids.

Get over it.

You make no sense. Typical nut job.

Agree, you absolutely are.

I have a dog. I love dogs. I probably want to pet your dog. Outside the grocery store!

+1, I love dogs, too! Have two myself and my family is the type to ask if we can say hello to yours. But we also think they always belong on leashes, and not in shops and restaurants. Hate a-hole entitled owners.

It's all about attention for you idiots. I was herding my kids away from a pitbull who was losing it in a store and the owner passive aggressively announced "I guess those people don't want to say Hi to you, Luna...." Now it's not enough to tolerate your dog's presence, we're all supposed to pet it and fuss over it too?

That PP mentioned supermarkets. Dogs are not allowed there. Stop comparing your dogs to humans.

Get over it, or take meds. There is nothing wrong with the comparison.

Way to ignore the point.

You’re blathering and hyperventilating all over this thread about comparing kids to dogs. You need to take a break, I think.

You’re proving the comments true. People > dogs. Admit it. You use your dog to get attention for yourself.

First off, what people did to the wolf, and other animals, is shameful.What they are doing is not for the dog, it's for them.

This. The owners who drag their dogs into stores and unexpected public places are usually attention wh0res.

Anonymous wrote:It's unsurprising that the people who train their dogs well are the same people who never bring them into stores: training a dog means you have thought carefully about what a dog should be allowed to do. The people who think it's okay for the dog to do whatever at home or on a walk, are of course also okay with the dog doing whatever in the store.

I’m not a dog owner but I have seen that the vast majority of dog owners do a great job and are respectful of others. I know a few who put their dogs above all others but they are few and far between. Unpleasant encounters with them are memorable which makes it seem our communities are teeming with them. Their attitudes about their dog coming first before others tends to be their world view about their kids and themselves as well. This is what an entitled ahole looks like as a dog owner.

Why is it so hard to understand that people don’t want to be licked by your dog?
