Simply existing in a public space can become a tetchy affair when you're accompanied by either kids or dogs. Both offer no guarantees that they are going to behave, and both face a significant minority of people who don't enjoy being in the same place as them.

This can lead to some awkward interactions, as one TikToker and dog owner recently found out. When she brought her Shiba Inu with her on her train journey, a fellow passenger and mom scolded her for bringing her dog on the train. However, it was quickly exposed that her kids were being more disruptive than the dog was.

When this callout hit social media, viewers were conflicted about whose side they were on. While it's true that the dog wasn't causing any trouble that could have prompted the mom to complain, it probably isn't fair to make a direct comparison between a pet and a child (even when there are similarities).

    Draco_Darling Please bring it on the train, but not on the seat. Most of us prefer not to have dirty paws where we sit.

    Happysmurfx It's respectful not to have them ON the seats. They ask people not to put their feet on seats, pass count too!

    Annie Personally I would be a bit annoyed if I get up from the seat and I'm full of dog hair. That said, I rather deal with that than screaming children

    emna The fact that he's not reacting to the kids shows he's a good dog and he deserves his seat

    dem BSW Fri jaz95716 Making sure that a child is always well and quiet is also more demanding than with a dog

    Firefly Pets should be welcome on trains but I think it would be curtesy to not have them sit on seats in case someone sits in the same seat with an allergy or doesn't want hair on their clothes →
