Well I am very sad to see all the descrimination against people who want to carry their animals with them. My 4.5 lb dog goes with me wherever I go simply because she gets upset when she is left at home. She is a people dog and gets anxious when left alone.

I am allegric to perfume does that mean that I should tell everyone I pass to stop wearing it because it offends me. If this person was like me then my dog has a very nice carrier that looks like a purse and no one is the wiser that she is with me. I can assure you that she is much cleaner than any snotty nose kid running around or the person that just went to the bathroom and didn't wash their hands but just has to touch everything.

And each and everyone of you that talked about an animal being an accessory or the person carrying them is trying to be Paris Hilton, shame on you. You have no clue. You have no idea what that pet might mean to that person. My mother keeps my dog durning the day while I am at work because she is all alone and my dog brings her so much comfort and breaks the loneliness. Who said all pets are nasty? You see hundreds of people in Wal-mart at any given time and there are no telling what kind of germs they are carrying around. Plus usually a human does not get germs from a DOG. Most germs are species specific and do not transfer. LEAVE OUR FURRY FRIENDS ALONE AND LET THEM BE WITH THE PEOPLE THEY LOVE.
