If you don’t like seeing people with their dogs just ignore them. My husband was like you until we got our puppy. He now loves that dog & wants her with us wherever we go. Events happen in life which we have no control. Depression anxiety loneliness are also illnesses that can’t be controlled. Instead of looking at the dog as a negative look at the dog as a companion who is making life so much better for someone in need of the dogs love. Owners will do whatever it takes to give their dog the love & care the dog needs. Don’t judge because you are not walking in other peoples shoes.

When I was in the fox hole , I never thought oh lord if I get thru this nightmare and they remove the shrapnel I'd love to pick up dog excrement in a clear plastic bag off my neighbors lawn (even tho we have a ton of dog parks for this event or better yet the dog lovers own lawn) then carry it though the neighbor hood like a bag of truffles on award night.
Speaking of truffles in bags. Happy Halloween (or fall festival) if you're opposed to Halloween for some reason)
