How are we all feeling about people who bring their furry friends everywhere?
If you took your dog to the grocery store 30 years ago, it would stop people in their tracks. They might smile and ask to pet your pup, or they’d laugh, or they’d ask you why you brought Fido to get groceries with you. It was a total novelty, and unless you had a service animal, this just wasn’t the norm. However, these days, dogs go everywhere. They’re at the very crowded grocery store on a Saturday morning. They’re at the fancy restaurant, slurping water from a dog dish. They’re at the Target, the Walmart, the corner store. Everywhere you turn, people are bringing their dogs with them while shopping, and a lot of people do not care for this at all.
I’m one of those people! I love dogs. But when I go to that crowded grocery store on a weekend and I’m blocked from the freezer aisle by a massive Doberman, it makes me nervous. What if a little kid steps on that dog and it flips out? What if the dog licks the produce? Why in the world does your massive pet, cute though they may be, need to be here with you right now?
One answer is that a lot of people adopted pets during the events of the early 2020s, which we dare not speak of. These pets were used to their paw-rents being around them 24/7, and a lot of them developed anxiety whenever their parents leave the home. Instead of dealing with this, Mom or Dad just takes the pup with them everywhere now.
However, as some people pointed out in response to this person’s annoying discovery at a restaurant, there are plenty of times that dogs are making customers uncomfortable. Some people are allergic, while others just don’t want to chow down at a fancy restaurant while listening to a dog loudly pant under the table. It’s quite the divisive topic, as you can read all about down below.
