I love dogs, and even got permission to have my boxer sit by me during chemo. The doctor had a storage closet that she let me sit in during the six hours a day I received chemo. After the first two weeks of treatment I started to get very anxious about walking into the doctor's office (the disease messes with logic). Having my well trained dog sit lay on my feet helped. Down here, I now go to Fl Cancer Center for transfusions. I would never even consider bringing a dog into that environment. Unlike my original situation, FCC has a dozen chairs in one large room. You love your dog, I love dogs, not everyone does.
Who suggested that it's proper to bring dogs into a grocery store?

I most certainly never did...

I only suggested that the actual occurrence of that happening is so small, that it isn't a significant problem...

And many hospitals have dogs roaming the halls, giving comfort to sick patients...

I guess that Dr's office outrage is now on shakier ground...
