I know I will probably catch you-know-what for this, but I'm glad someone brought this front and center. Let me start by saying I have a dog (did have 2 but one died at 16) so I am an animal lover. The point is, they are animals and as such have their place. Not everyone thinks my little darling is as cute as I do, and I respect that. I don't understand why these people cannot leave them at home for a couple of hours. I know they don't take them to the doctors office, church, grocery store, restaurants, etc. Even man Villages offices are posted that animals not allowed. If they can't bear to leave them long enough to socialize, then they need to stay home with them or at the very least keep them leashed and in the cart with them. We were at SS one evening when a little girl was bitten in the face and nobody did a thing. I would not have been so calm had it been my child or grandchild. The owner acted as if the child should have not been there and was really rude to the grandparents. On another point, the smell is going to be an issue as the weather heats up, expecially now that there are so many people bringing their dogs. Service dogs are another matter and are working and usually are not allowed to be petted, etc. They should be allowed there as they are other places.
