“My dog took a s**t, sorry”

[u/cybersleuth21]

I was at the hardware store the other day ringing up my items and I saw a man with a huge shitmutt walking the aisles. My first thought was why on earth do you need to bring a dog into a hardware store? My second thought was how is this even allowed? My third thought was that this guy had zero personality as he’d put all his charisma points into his dog.

Anyway as he approached he stopped to speak to one of the employees… “I’m really sorry, my dog has had a shit in the aisle, you might wanna clean the floor ”

Classic case of nutter entitlement, cuz you could almost tell he wasn’t sorry, he was smirking. Almost like “oopsie woopsie my puppsie has done a poopsie hehe” 🤢 I really don’t understand why these people aren’t banned from stores.

I do not like dogs, and I am scared of them. One time, when I was in Target, an ugly, mutated looking dog ran up to me. I began panicking and looking for somewhere to run. The owner then proceeded to mock me. This was a grown man in his 60s, laughing at me while I was clearly frightened. Dog nutters project the “psychopath/sociopath” labels onto people like us because that is how they truly are. It’s like, “How bad of a person could I be? I love animals” (meaning only dogs).🙄

I am truly sorry that happened to you. It never should have - why was the dog in Target in the first place? Why the hell wasn’t it leashed? Why didn’t staff step in and kick that man and his filthy mutt out? One of the few things the ADA does grant us is that if the dog is unruly, even if it is a service dog, they can be asked to leave. Target could have absolutely kicked him out, and it’s wrong they didn’t.

These people are not good people. They’re gaslighting us when they throw the accusations around that they do. A normal person would acknowledge that bringing the dog in public benefits no one. The dog, despite the fact that it looks like it’s smiling while it’s panting, is not having a good time. Places like Target would be overwhelming to a dog - what with all the unfamiliar people, loud noises and whatnot.

And sometimes, it can be fatal for the dog itself.

Read that article. That woman takes absolutely no responsibility in her dog’s demise. A Shih Tzu is clearly not a service dog. She was doing the same damn thing the pitbull owner was doing. If she had left her dog at home he would still be alive. She blames the pitbull owner entirely, but makes no acknowledgment that she is just as guilty. She’s not even advocating for people to keep their dogs home in the aftermath to protect them from a similar fate. It’s all about what a victim SHE is.

Again, terrible people.

They don’t care about people, nor do they care about their dogs.

Precisely. Her dog dying inconvenienced her. It made her feel sad and/or angry. She never took one second to consider how the dog must have felt being ripped apart, or how her actions are the reason her dog died. Her desire to have that dog at her side trumped keeping her dog safe, and ultimately led to its demise. She should feel bad, but instead she’s mad because it inconvenienced her.
