Also what if you were severly alregic to dogs but someone brought one in and was right next to you and your throat closed off and they had to call the paramedics because someone snuck their doggy in. what if you were eating in a reasteraunt and someone had snuck the dog in and the waitress wanted to pet it and sisn't wash her hand or the hair got on her clothes and then she touched your food or hair got on your plate really it's gross animals don't belong in those places for a reason. Yes i would love to bring my babies everywhere but we can't and i know that we are responsible and clean and take care of our babies but there are others who don't and to be honest i wouldn't want them around any food i might get because you just never know. Sorry guys i'm off my soap box lol.
I agree... good post. There isn't one store that has any form of food that isn't boxed up and sealed that will allow dogs - whether you get away with it or not is a different story...

It makes sense though... even if you're not allergic, would you want someone who just touched their flee infested, parasite ridden dog touching the fruits you're about to grab? I wouldn't. Grovery stores just aren't the places for dogs.

I do take Ferdinand into Target though - and you're only allowed to have service animals in there. I've never gotten in any trouble by having him... even if I did get stopped I'd tell them he was my seeing eye dog or something.
