In shops and cafes, barking and making people jump, tripping over them in the street... Seems everyone and their Auntie Flo has a dog nowadays.

I’d send a pic as evidence of my dog’s clinker free bum but some of these lot would like that.

Cool. What’s the problem then?

Your opinion means nothing. The opinion of the business is the only one that counts.

dont care. I just don’t go in cafes and restaurants that allow dogs.

@Onleemoi

Don’t care about the rules. That’s my opinion which I am entitled to. Dogs (besides service dogs) should not be in restaurants or cafes.

Correct, if that’s the rules of that particular cafe. Incorrect if not.

I don’t take my big hairy dog into cafes because he is big and hairy but very well behaved.
However this morning I did. Spurred on by this thread. Sick to death of the dog haters. I only got a take out coffee as dog is genuinely too big and there was a covered area outside if I wanted to sit.
Every time I read yet another dog hating thread on here I will make a point of taking my dog into a cafe. I will also post a pic to annoy the unhinged haters.

i wash mine with soap and water after a shit and it’s also covered with underwear and trousers when I sit anywhere. So it’s waaaaaay cleaner than a dogs arse.

If I knew you were taking your big hairy dog to my local cafe, I'd definitely make a point of going there. He's absolutely gorgeous 😍

I’m with you. Damned if we do and damned if we don’t so may as well crack on.

I agree they're absolutely everywhere. It's absolutely horrible being surrounded by adorable, fluffy little snuggle monsters that just want love 🙄❤️ Can't even go to the bathroom alone.

Adorable 🥰

@LemonCheesecake2025

you do get a lot that aren’t sensible though tbf. Like those that think it’s ok for their dog with its filthy arse to sit on the chairs in a cafe or pub or whatever

My dogs aren't allowed to do this. Also, our dogs go in kennels. I never ask people to have them. They are OK about that.

i don’t care what anyone says, a dogs arse isn’t gonna be clean. And I don’t want it on a chair I’m gonna be sitting on.

It is on another thread, but there is an explanation about how dog's bum holes work so they are not dirty after having a poo.
And why is it people who are not a fan of dogs are always obsessed with their anuses and excrement?
