That is your opinion, but the owner has the choice.

Florida Law bans pets at restaurants, but allows local authorities to make exemptions if certain rules and regulations are followed. Restaurants can allow dogs to be on their outdoor patios, but first the establishment must apply for and be issued an exemption to do so by the proper authorities like Wildwood, Lady Lake, or Sumter County.

I was responding to the mythical "130 lb dog" that was being used as an example...

And I never said I would bring my dog to a house party, regardless of her weight...

I was comparing a PRIVATE house party to a PUBLIC square...

I thought that was abundantly clear to anyone with a basic understanding of english.

Apparently, I was mistaken...

Let's do this. Section off an area of the town squares for those who bring their pets. You all sit together with your service animals. Surely your beloved pets will love this experience, or, would chaos reign, the same experience you would subject us to. Did you ever think your pets make non pet owners nervous? Especially in close quarters. Do you think its pleaseant to sit near an animal who may decide to snack on you. What would you do if it happened. Would you be the one to call 911 and inform them of the event and turn yourself in? Kind of think the pet owner would make apologies and get into the wind as fast as possible.

If my pet EVER hurt someone, I would immediately render first aid and stay with the person until help arrived.

And I'm sorry that the mere sight of a dog causes you so much distress.

Maybe a "dog friendly" community like TV is not the place for you..

Well, that is certainly your opinion. If you are a dog owner, don't bring yours along with you...

But to force your choices onto others, when their choice is quite legal is a non-starter...

Currently dogless. Chose a human over a dog for my life companion.
Never force my choices, but do suggest that some choices, legal or not, might be nicer, better and more considerate choices for all.

Wow, I cannot believe 14 pages of responses to this thread,,,,, I waded through 8 of the pages..... gave up. Astoundingly not one mention of my greatest fear..... how are you going to feel when one of those "little pooches" trips an elderly person, causes that person to fall, fracture a hip and most likely never fully recover from same???? If you watch the activities on the live cameras you will see what I am talking about..... not only the pets, but small children, bouncing/walking/running about in the crowd..... one day it's going to happen... if not already... Think about it, you may wind up in court.

Your dog, your choice. My human, my choice. Thanks for your thoughtful suggestion where I live, but we like it here just fine.
Happy Holidays! 🎅🎄🎁
