Agree with you here 100% @Cody Fousnaugh. Have a friend who brings her dog everywhere. She would not, if someone told her not to. Nobody tells her not to. Not even me. Totally out of hand, what isn't?
I agree with this as well. There is no reason to have to take any dog , except maybe a trained seeing-eye dog, into a public place, especially a restaurant or grocery store where food is being sold. I might not mind having my dog in the room when I am here at home eating, but i do not want to dine out somewhere and see people bringing in their pets. Sonce even thieves are pretty much allowed to go into stores and walk out with anything they want, and employees can be fired for trying to stop a thief, I think that the whole thing with allowing pets is just another example of how our America has gone downhill .
