The problem is people with allergies. You should be able to go food shopping without having to be concerned about having an allergic reaction and having to deal with rabid dog owners who insist only their comfort is what counts. It’s extremely selfish. Service dogs are one thing but selfish “fur parents” are another thing entirely.
I was admiring a cute little ginger-brown Doodle in the mall yesterday walking next to her person wearing a t shirt and looking at me as if to say “What?”
I don’t mind dogs in the grocery stores if they well behaved. Technically, unless they are truly service pets, they are not allowed by law in many states. There are many instances where the dog seems frightened by all the activity and noise. It seems like it would be kinder to leave the dog at home. I was at a restaurant and there was a very gassy chihuahua in a women’s purse. It was shaking and farting up a storm. I hoped it pooped in the inconsiderate owner’s purse.☺️

The good ol’ days when people didn’t need “emotional support” to pick out fresh tomatoes. :)

Saw a lady pushing a baby carriage in our local grocery store a while back. I was thinking, “what an ugly hairy baby,” until I took a closer look…

while it bugs me (especially since you can get those collars online), if it keeps ’em from going postal, more power to ’em…

Aren’t they restricted to service dogs?
