I think it's different when people actually become ill from something, than not liking something.
Also, people with major allergies or phobias do not expect to see dogs when they're going out to eat, or grocery shopping so if they cannot tolerate being around that, how are they supposed to shop or do the things they need to do?
And I know you're saying you don't think we should accommodate someone who's afraid/allergic to dogs, but then why should stores accommodate people who want to shop with their dogs?
For the amount of dog lovers that would be happy about the changes, there'd be an equal number of people who would be unhappy about it.
I'm really not trying to start an argument, I'm just trying to discuss a different side of things.
I love my dogs just as much as everyone else, but I'm curious why we sometimes feel (and by we I'm including myself), a sense of entitlement to bring them everywhere, even places they aren't allowed.
