Truthfully, I think more animal protection laws need to be passed than this; but realistically, it'll never happen. |
Well, I think since service dogs have been allowed into restaurants and stores and there has been not ONE report of someone dying of allergies, it would be possible to have other dogs in restaurants/stores without causing a problem.
The problem is how do you determine the good, well behaved dog from the bad dog? I think you are right, we could have training and your dog would get like a "doggy license" which would give them access to public places. It would state that the dog has been trained and passed some sort of test that determines they are well behaved. No license, no entry into the store/restaurant.
I think that maybe in the future as more people becoming educated about animals and how to care for them, we can get more animal protection laws.
