Re: Why do people do this?
i agree its not fair ...
though it might be the better alternative to bringing them into the store, i guess.
honestly, i really think they should just leave the dog at home if they can't deal with not getting a cup of coffee ...

thats how I feel, just leave the dog at home, take the dog out after or before and just bring it home and then go to the store or wherever you have to go.

Re: Why do people do this?
I dont think its that big of a deal. what if you went for a walk , stayed out longer than intended, see a deli/store need a drink- I think its better than taking the dogs in.

I've done this a few times when necessary - only left her for a moment - quick run in, not a peruse through a store - and only was at counter of store - where I could see her from inside.

Re: Why do people do this?
I think there is a big difference between people running into a store for a quick drink and people sitting down in a restaurant for a complete meal. While I have never done it (never lived near a town to walk the dog), I don't think it is terrible.

Re: Why do people do this?
I see your point, but thing is I saw this dog before I went into the store and 20 minutes later it was still out there
There's a lot of stores, coffee places over there so owner could have been anywhere.

IMO, it's better than subjecting customers to a dog in the store. i find that so rude and annoying. If it's just for a few minutes, i don't see the big deal.

ITA! I'd rather have them outside than inside a food or clothing store with me.

I agree with people shouldnt be bringing them into food places/stores , but my point is couldnt they leave them home then instead of tying them to something outside.

Re: Why do people do this?
To me, leaving my dogs tied to a meter is the same as leaving my child tied to a meter. I would be devastated if anything happened to my dog (or future child). I would be too afraid someone would injure or steal my dogs. I would never do it and don't like when I see it.

Me too! Especially since my dog is so friendly... she'd go home with anyone!
