I agree that my dog has no business being taken inside a restaurant or a grocery store. I don't take her to those places and never will.
I do take Sadie, my OMC, with me, occasionally, to Tractor Supply, Lowes, Pet Supplies Plus, Home Depot, etc. She minds better than most folks kids I see in those places. I ain't a Karen nor am I queer.
I just enjoy spending time with my dog and she enjoys being with me. I have no doubt that there are three living beings, whom I know loves me. One is Jesus, two is my wife, Renee and three is my dog, Sadie.
She is a dog, not human, nor on the level of a human, but I'd rather be around her than many humans I've met.
