Reply to comment by Verity41 in Dogs in grocery stores. by Norgyort

I feel the same way about kids and dogs in grocery stores as well, but the opposite as you it seems. It isn't safe or legal to just leave your kids at home or in the car when you go to a grocery store, so there they are. People will break the windows of your car if they see a dog left in it, so in they go. I think it is usually out of necessity when you see either inside.

I'm not currently a dog owner, but I can tell you, it is much easier to grocery shop without one in tow. The same goes for a child times 10.

For sure. Was tongue-in-cheek actually… I was just attempting to match the hyperbolic hysterical comment of someone who thinks having dogs in the kitchen is “living like a dog”, and that they are “filthy beasts”.

I actually love dogs though I can’t have one right now (gone from home too much). And I understand that of course people cannot leave kids in cars. They sure are walking germ-boxes tho, no one can deny that!
