It is not limited to California, I assure you.
Last week I was walking down the street with my kids, and some loose dog comes running at my youngest. I'm holding both kids' hands, so I kicked at the dog to keep it away without actually hitting the dog.
All of a sudden, its absentee owner comes out of the woodwork to threaten "if you kick my dog I'll kick you!" I just hung on to my kids and kept on walking. I would rather get kicked than let his dog do whatever it was going to do to my kid. I'm not going to stop and get in a fight with this idiot, but it was simply astounding that he expected random people on the street to care more about his dog than he does.
You made the right call. That person was definitely a dangerous idiot.
I love dogs but fully support you on this one.
No you're right. You don't know that dog's temperment. Your kids are more important than a loose dog.
I worked a retail gig in the Bay Area. I was the only one who tried to enforce the no-dog policy. That was 20 years ago. I wouldn't bother now.
If you think that bad dog owner entitlement is an exclusively Californian issue then I regret to inform you that I have terrible news about the rest of the country.
Tbh I love it when customers bring their dogs to my work (as long as the dog is friendly).
Give some something cute to look at and pet during an otherwise bland day
Work dogs are the best part of my day
I'm not a dog person, even the one dog I did have in my household is a shiba inu, which is way more cat-like than anything. I don't have a problem with dogs in stores as long as they're well behaved...
BUT
Don't take your dog to a venue or bar with loud live music. Just because you're comfortable with loud music doesn't mean your dog is. I imagine it's pretty hard on their much more sensitive hearing and our vet confirmed this to me.
Thats my 2¢
Amazon has faux emotional support certs. Harnesses, and badges. Do with that information as you will.
ESAs complicate the whole thing
Not really. I actually like this meme because it specifies the dog is misbehaving. There is no protection for a misbehaving dog.
