I too am curious about this. I'm always wanting to take Luma around with me, but don't for fear of getting kicked out for having her!!! The other night we ventured into Walmart with her in my purse because I was with my bf and his best friend, I didn't want to wait in the car so we went in. No one said anything but I did get a couple looks when they saw a little puppy head pop out of the zipper!!
