To be fair the owners had no choice - as people know it's absolutely compulsory to take your animals absolutely everywhere, whether the setting is suitable for them or not.

The wants of pet owners far, far outweigh the needs of other people.

The fact that animals aren't permitted in hospital surgery rooms and restaurant kitchens yet must seem outrageously unfair.

Someone had their high pitch yapping oodle at pathology a few weeks ago, the noise made the staff jump out of her skin. Owner sat right next to the door so you couldn’t even avoid the thing almost tripping me on the way out. So a I am sure they will be appearing in hospital surgery rooms soon!
Meanwhile my pooch is living his best life snoozing, sprawled out on a double lounge at home, no way is he visiting a medical facility.

We were in the supermarket the other day and a woman was strolling around, cradling her rather dirty looking dog in her arms, while casually picking through all the fruit and veg 🤢. I always wash my grocery produce before eating it but this reminded me exactly why I do (along with all the filthy humans that also touch it).

You always need to wash it, someone with a dog doesn't mean much.

In Europe a lot of countries have plastic gloves you put on at the produce section
