I am the one who is totally against sneaking our pups into places or taking them places where they aren't allowed.
But -- I certainly do agree that there are emergencies - times when you can't leave them in the car and you have to get something or go to the bathroom, etc.
Even I - did this once. I unexpectedly got my little 8-week old pup on my way home from work. It was winter and very very cold. I had to get some food for him, karo syrup, etc. It was late, I was tired, and I live 9 miles past the store. And, I was afraid to live him in the car.
So - I put him under my jacket and went on the fastest shopping trip I have ever been on in my life. I ran - got what I needed - and was out of there in only a few minutes. Only one person even noticed him -said he was cute - I said "Thanks" and continued running to get out of there as quickly as I could.
If someone had stopped me and told me he couldn't be there, I would have taken him home and then have gone back to the store. But - we made it!!!
So - yes - I know there are times when we might need to bend the rules. This was the only time my pup has been any place he shouldn't be. I would never deliberately take him anyplace he isn't allowed.
