re: When did people start bringing their dogs everywhere?

Agree with you, OP for the most part.

I’m fine with one or two dogs in a bar that has a patio or any other outdoor event. But what if everybody brought their dogs to these things? Know what’s about as bad as kids running around? Dogs running around getting hair everywhere, biting, running people over, howling up a storm, shitting, pissing anywhere they please, slobbering all over everything and everyone.

And then people will say “oh it’s just a dog”. Yeah, it is just a dog, just like a child is just a child. Dogs and children aren’t that different, and if you do a shitty job of being an owner or parent, you’re going to have a shitty dog or child.

I don’t hate dogs, but I don’t think just because you love your little fefe or Rufus means he or she should go to public spaces. Especially places that serve food.
