Aren’t the snacks, bottled soda et al. contained in sealed packages? If so, how would Cody contaminate any of them?
Methinks that the dog has more smarts than the health department bureaucrats.
There used to be plenty of neat little stores and gas stations with resident dogs who made visiting the places very entertaining. I know of a couple of local shops where dogs reside, no food involved, and at least the gov’t hasn’t banned them for contaminating the goods.
