I would love to see store/restuarant managers grow a pair and tell these people to take their pets OUT of the store.

Yes..if the animal is a true certified service animal that's different. But if that's not the case, please leave you animals AT HOME.

Sorry, but there is no law that I am aware of
that says (in this country) dogs cannot be taken into a store
such as Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. You are incorrect in that part of your remark,
with the exception of service dogs.

In grocery stores and restaurants -- that is true.
What other "venues" are you speaking about?
I gather from your comment you don't have a pet,
nor do you like them, eh?
