to think this woman should take her dog out of the cafe?

[MaMaLa321]

So, I'm in a cafe yesterday, eating lunch. Dogs are allowed, which is OK with me, and there are several, sitting quietly by their owners.
Except one, that keeps on doing that piercing high pitched yap, randomly. The owner, every time, looks lovingly at the dog, and says 'shush' . An the dog does it again. And again.
For about 20 minutes, when she finishes her lunch and leaves.
There is outside seating and AIBU to think that she should go outside.

@PollyFlint OP said it was pretty constant, more than occasional. If a toddler was shrieking the entire way through your meal and it’s mum just thought it was cute, I bet you’d be wishing it would shut up. If the parent was doing something to mitigate it, it probably wouldn’t be so bad. It’s not really like overhearing an annoying conversation or a phone ringing unless it was continuous and potentially ear-piercing! If it was the odd bit, it wouldn’t bother me either, but I’d expect it not to go on and on.
It’s selfish to inflict irritating behaviour on others and not at least attempt to minimise it.

Dogs get a pass for everything on here! Why can we not take our cats, birds, rats to cafes? My friends giant rabbit would sit nicely too but that’s never allowed.

I think I might take Sparklingcat out for breakfast. She’s very well behaved and she wouldn’t make a sound…

Cat cafés are a thing you know....

I have always thought that would be nice, to go to one. But then I wonder if the cats like it all that much, and they'd rather not be there!

I went to Lady Dinah's in London a few years ago. It's down to the cats whether they approach the humans and a woman who was bothering a cat that was trying to sleep on a shelf was asked to leave it alone. I've seen people complaining they were asked to leave because they wouldn't leave the cats alone.

The MN line is that you can’t go anywhere that allows kids (so everywhere except a nightclub) and then object to kids making noise, so the same should apply to dogs.

But YANBU. I hate places that allow dogs or children as by and large there’s always at least one that’s behaving atrociously and making the place feel like a zoo.

I don’t eat out much.
