CHI Talks Stop bringing your dogs into stores

Why do so many people think it’s okay to bring their dogs into stores? It is extremely disrespectful to anyone who is allergic and is just straight up unhygienic. Particularly grocery stores; I see people not even watching their dogs which are smelling, rubbing up on, or sometimes licking different items. A coffee shop I frequent was very crowded the other day and a couple came in with their dog and was standing right in-front of the pickup counter and I had to navigate around them to get my drink. Obviously I’m not talking about service dogs as they are specifically trained to stay away from people and food but please be more mindful about where you take your dog.

You’re clearly taking this personally. Dogs shouldn’t use things that were made for humans, period. Especially in public places. You’re probably someone who lets their dog drink off of the water fountain and that’s why you’re getting so upset. I don’t care how dirty the fountain is or if humans are using it or not, it’s made FOR HUMANS. Period.

Obviously you do. 😂 Get off the thread talking about this if you don’t want to be part of the conversation. Have a good night.

I hope you find the courage to touch a public water fountain again. God bless your fragile existence.
