I understand where you're coming from. I don't HAVE to have Mugzy with me, but I really like to take him along. In the colder weather it was easy, because I just tucked him under my shirt. Again, as one person noted, I don't even try to take him into restaurants or grocery stores, but just about every other place I take him without asking. FUNNY STORY>>>When I first got Mugzy, I took him to Walmart late one night and about four different workers said, "You can't bring a dog in here". To every one of them I said, "But he's a seeing eye dog" (mind you I'm holding this 2lb pup) and they all said, "Oh, okay, no problem"
If I am asked to leave, I do, but most people LOOOOVE the puppy, especially if he is all brushed out and has a bow in his hair. I went to visit a relative who was in the hospital for depression, and ALL of the other patients, nurses, staff, etc. just loved him and told me to bring him back any time. He's also been to Crystal Cave, Home Depot, yard sales, etc.
