Shout out to all the rational people who:
Think dogs are all right.
Don't think dogs are more important than people.
Think having dogs out and about is fine, in the park, on the streets, in cafe's etc. But there are limits and having them in every shop is ridiculous as most of them seem quite stressed by it all anyway.
Don't think dogs owners should ignore "no dogs" signs just because their little fido has separation anxiety or whatever.
Don't think dogs are horrible, but equally don't want them running up and jumping all over you, especially when you're wearing something nice.
Have no objection to dogs being off lead, but equally think that owners should have them under control at all times because that's the law.
Think that there are a lot of good dog owners, but equally, there's a significant contingent, especially post Covid, of irresponsible fuckers who are probably responsible for the influx of threads on Mumsnet.
Think that nuance is sadly lacking in the modern social media driven era.
