WTH are you doing disturbing them, Dominic, get up and move to another chair so he/she can get his/her rest in comfort.

Major cuteness!

How can you have a handle like "despicable me" and not say:

IT'S SO FLUFFY, I'M GONNA DIE!

Clearly the dog could be using ALL of the couch. Some humans are so thoughtless.

I was in there the other day wondering how long it would be before someone gets that sweet pup kicked out.

Oddly enough, they were having a hard time teaching him the "lie down" command when I was there. Looks like he got it!

At least the dog has enough sense/training to not be rubbing his stinky butt all over the seat cushions where a person is going to be (eventually) sitting.

This proves beyond any doubt that coffee shop owners should have the choice of whether to allow dogs in their establishments.

@ 11 - LOL. I was thinking the same thing...

Dan or Charles would have had a much different take on this.......

yeah i agree, adorable.
yeah i know about that choice stuff...but thing is, the customer who comes in AFTER the dog has left may have no idea that the dog had been there. until they start sneezing. or find that their pants are dirty.
it's only after that they can decide to not patronize the establishment.
ok, having bad day. feeling grumpy. i want a dog.

I'm with #7...dogs belong on the floor in public places along with all children under 15.

@18: What coffee shop is that? Because I don't want to go there. Not because I hate dogs—not all dogs. I mean, I have a dog. But I'm very, very allergic to dog hair and have had severe asthmatic attacks. You know, like the one that killed this guy:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/17/world/…

I wouldn't want to sit on that couch. I've sat on couches that dogs had been on and wound up having attacks. It's all fun and games and uptight fags until someone gets sick.

Fuck that dog owner and fuck that coffee shop.

@2, Hah, too funny, didn't cross my mind!
@4, see @5
@5, EXACTLY!
@14, Sorry you're grumpy. Hey, maybe you should get a dog?!
@Dan, sorry that happens cause you'll never know what you're missing out on. God is dog backwards. Dog is my co-pilot!

I don't hate dogs, but they smell. Like dogs. They shouldn't be in a coffee shop and especially not on the damn couch.

Perhaps that's the owner's dog.

1.) post sign on door saying it's a dog-friendly cafe and dogs have pissed their hair on everything and asthmatics and allergics beware. Problem solved.

2.) don't you dare goddamn die Dan. We love and need you.

3.) PUPPY IS SOOOO CUTE OMG OMG SQUEAL etc.

When you walk into the coffee shop and see the jar of dog biscuits next to the tip jar, you know what you've gotten yourself in to.

@18: Katy's Corner Cafe, 20th and Union in the CD. Best coffee shop in town, if you're askin' me. Perhaps I'll even swing by there for a tasty beverage myself today.
