Really... how many dogs have you seen drinking out of water fountains? We know of one, that the OP saw.

Thank you for informing me that this is a non issue.
I will run my posts by you to get the OK to post if they pass the Mountain /molehill test!

And I think there is something very odd about people who don't like dogs.
Just one humble opinion.

I'm with you! No telling what kind of disease a dog can get by drinking out of a people water fountain!

I like dogs, and LOVE my dogs, but I would never have them drinking out of a water fountain that was meant for humans. Yuck is right!!

I've also never seen anyone lift their dog up to do this, but the OP did and we're all commenting on it... Us animal lovers really need to use common sense.

I can not believe that anyone would think that this is O.K.,I bike,run and walk do not tell me that some one was holding their dog up to lap out of the same fountain that I am going to drink from after he has done his business and licked himself clean,disgusting!
