I have no problem with dogs in public if people have them under well control. The problem is, most don’t. Even at the vet. Our previous dog did NOT like many other dogs. She had been attacked when young by a neighbor dog (neighbors shoved the dog out the door at night to use the neighbor’s yards as a toilet). After that, she was aggressive with strange dogs. I have warned people to keep their dog away from my leashed one and they tell me “it’s ok, my dog’s friendly”. Well MINE wasn’t and they were shocked when my dog clamped down on their dog’s snout when it got all up in her face. I would repeat through clenched teeth, “GET. YOUR. DOG. UNDER. CONTROL.” And, of course, once we got into the exam room, we hear the same dog get into a ruckus with someone else. Some people shouldn’t have dogs...
YES !!
But, said by someone who no longer goes to a mall.
Thanks for sharing.

This is my pet peeve too. People think it’s perfectly acceptable to bring their dogs ANYWHERE. It’s to the point of ridiculous.
‘Stew Pet dog’? Is that like a ‘step on’ dog? Inquiring minds want to know.
OK...I thought it was against the law to have a dog in a public area where people are eating.
Service dogs are trained not to bark or approach strangers. They always stay within 1-3 feet of the person they work with. Also service dogs usually are walked with a stiff harness that doesn’t allow the dog to pull.
Why anyone would bring such a dog into a public place like that, I don't know.
I seem to recall that most state health departments do not allow it. Where is enforcement?
Now I’m just conjuring up crap.
Dogs slobbering all over the food at grocery stores? That’s gotta be okay, right?
Dogs with fleas and the fleas transmit whatever to a human?
Shedding from of these massive animals is ridiculous.
I have another friend who has two, count em, two
Leonberger horses....erh, dogs.
Cuddly monsters but, man!!! They throw off so much hair/fur it’s crazy!
I won’t even get into my friends car so I can avoid getting massive amount of hair all over me.
I’ve even seen Leonberger’s at the mall.
Biggest one I saw last month was at the mall across the street, which is an outdoor mall.
A Caucasian Shepard is as big as a bear and I swear, the guy who owned him had to be rationing his own food intake so he could afford to feed this idiotic size of a dog for city dweller.
I mean, who want curb that frickin pig and clean up afterward?
His Crap Burgers would weigh 10-20 pounds!
Sweet Deal!
I suggested that but, they must have gotten over the whole over heating thing.
Just had dinner at their house and they said the dog’s don’t need the tub of water, now that they are older....
Weirdo...
If a dog attacks me or my kids, it will be dead. I have been bitten in the past, several times. My only regret was that I didn’t have a 9mm on me at the time.
Yeah, get that alot...
lots of pagans out there, worshiping animals and inanimate objects before they honor GOD....of course they think everyone should have similar thoughts.
I got to a restaurant in Carmel that is pet friendly, most of them are.
But, the pet friendly side of a restaurant is a separate area
I wonder why I keep misspelling restaurant over the last year. Pretty sure I use to spell it with no problem for 50 something years before...
