And in this worls people get really grumpy about things like that. And then there would have to be policies about the size of the bag (medium breeds can fit in duffle bags). Vaccines may not be up to date. So many animals have fleas and their owners don't know it. Mesh can rip. Some dogs can open zippers. Then cats have to be allowed as long as they are in a bag. How about ferrets and pet rars? Piglets? These are pets to some people... I think if a dog is going to be sneaked in then to each their own but realize it is a legal issue and may be dealt with harshly. It puts business owners in a very awkward position.
I do see the point about service dogs; however, for the people that use them it is a necessity and not so much an option. If one needs a pup with them for medical or psychological ussues then there is a process for that. Most people who require service animals probably would like nothing more than to NOT take them everywhere. |

I agree. There's a sign that says no animals permitted (except handicap service animals). You were wrong for trying to sneak your dog into the store, knowing he wasn't allowed.
