I agree people do need to teach there children respect and how to behave but some kids do not get to be around cute little pups or even get to see any, and probably do get excited to see one. It just doesn't sound right for you to say "not everyone likes children either", I mean you had your dog at a clothing store I assume... not a pet store.
Not to sound rude but it irritates me to hear children called brats just because they get really excited to see precious pups and such but maybe because I am a MOM.

You can't leave a child at home unattended but you can find a babysitter. I was not in just any clothing store - I was in a store meant for ADULTS. It was a Career Apparel store (ie scrubs for doctors and nurses). I wouldn't take my dog into Toys R Us or Baby Gap and I usually don't expect to see a lot of children in the adult clothing stores I shop at. Well behaved children do not bother me, but it seems like most children are so unbehaved these days. I wish more parents would be responsible and make their children behave. I'll see kids running around, screaming, throwing fits, etc, and I've asked my mom a few times if I ever acted like that and she said no not really. They said if I ever did start throwing a fit, they immediately took me out of the restaurant or store. It's very unfair to subject others to a kid's screaming and missbehaving. Those of you that do teach your kids good manners and make them behave, Thank you! You're great parents!!
