Unpopular Opinion Vs. Legal Issue: Should Dogs Be Allowed In Grocery Stores

Greetings dog lovers! Taking your fur baby out on the town can be a great delight for both you and your pup. But when taking our dogs out to a public place like a mall, a restaurant, or a park, it is our moral responsibility to make sure that our furries are on their best behavior. Many times, dog owners are criticized for two major reasons: dog poop and undisciplined dogs. And while we know that most doggo parents scoop up after their pup, many, unfortunately, do not. And this taints the reputation of a dog owner for the rest of us.

For today's dose of doggo discussions, we present to you a subreddit where u/wastelandho rants about an encounter they had with an untrained dog at a grocery store, which then led to them stepping in the dog's feces. Let's admit it, it doesn't matter how much of a doggo lover you are, no one yearns for such an experience. The subreddit further develops into a discussion of whether dogs are even allowed to be out in public places. There are also some classic Karen behavior, service dog imposters, and other interesting perspectives. Give it a read, let us know what you think!

And remember - you are representing the doggo owner community - make us proud!

Hey, we're not judging. We can definitely understand the anger and rage people experience right after stepping into something they weren't planning on stepping on. It's unpleasant and inconsiderate. Addressing all dog owners: this is your reminder to pick up after your dog!

This is a big topic of discussion in this thread because once again, there will always be a group of people who will just ruin it for the rest of us. If your dog is not a service dog, please don't buy them service jackets and pretend that they are. Not cool to those around you and not cool to those who actually have a service dog.
