Why should we not permit dogs into grocery stores? One good reason is some people are just allergic to them:
People with dogs are going into grocery stores here in Seattle. All the owners of the stores can do is to ask if the dog is a service animal and the dog owner can lie and say yes.
I have seen dogs in shopping carts (at the Capitol Hill QFC), defecating on the floor, fighting with other dogs and more recently fornicating, yes, fornicating while the dog owners stood by chatting.
This concerns me as I literally almost died from an animal allergy. Spent eleven days in the trauma ward at Harborview. The firemen called the hospital to see if I had survived.
I have seen a dog defecating in the Harvard QFC. It happened like this: The dog suddenly crapped and then planted its sore or itchy ass on the smooth floor. The owner did not try to clean the mess but decided to get away from it by pulling the sitting dog’s leash. As he pulled, the dog slowly moved; as the dog slowly moved, its crappy ass marked the floor. All I wanted that day was a sandwich.
