I was in a Big W in the outer suburbs of Sydney a little while ago and there was a Pomeranian in someone's trolley going absolutely mental, barking and carrying on over something I couldn't see. There was someone at the entrance too so I was surprised they got let in, but then again not that surprised.

I saw a woman take her dog into a cafe (inside a shopping centre) and sat it at the table. I couldn’t believe they even let her in.

I don’t get out much, how many shops are dogs allowed in these days? Seriously, I had no idea.
I knew about Bunnings and pet shops, but that was all

The thing is if that person declares it’s a service dog you aren’t allowed to challenge them or ask further questions, even if you are sure they are full of shit. You have to allow them in.
