Clearwater, from my experience is a magnet for stupids in all of their municipal levels.

Our wonderful govt.--protecting us from man's best friend.

You are far more likely to catch a disease from another human than from a dog.

Look at that face..now there's a guy who loves his job!
Watta cutie...I don't see what he big deal is.
As long as he doesn't bring a sub sandwich to me in his mouth,I don't see the problem.
There's crack whores and drunks hanging around 7-11s and similar places...i'd have more of a problem taking a can of soda from their hands than from this dog's mouth.

Even if you knew where his tongue was just two minutes before? LOL!

You’re a whole lot less likely to get a bacterial infection from being nipped by a dog, than from being bitten by a human. So, dogs lick their behinds to clean themselves. It’s not as if they have opposable thumbs and can grab a washcloth, lol. I’d rather take food from this dog than some fast food “workers” I’ve witnessed. I seriously doubt they have the first clue about hygiene, and don’t clean themselves as assiduously as a dog, by whatever means.

It’s in the occupied territory! For all the flak Southerners catch we could never have screwed things up as bad as the snowbirds have. They plant little NYC seeds everywhere they go. I hope the damned pythons eat them!

"Customers, readers defend Cody the store dog"

People - now is the time to put this in perspective. Find theNAME of the 'inspector' then start paying him face to face visits with work related questions etc. Keep it up until his daily workload is full - maybe some phone calls too. Maybe his manager needs some attention .... the whole department.

Are the local newspapers sympathetic? Is the 'law' local - visit them!

When the government fears the People - result is Liberty. When the People fear the Government ????

Someone post this guy's home address. Cody wants to give him a Christmas gift, and I get the honor of lighting the bag, ringing the doorbell, and watching from the bushes.

Dogs can understand many, many words — and fetch items on command.

Maybe they could use that to their advantage:

Customer: “Where are the chips?”

Employee: “Cody, would you please show this gentleman where he can find the... CHIPS?”

By the way, Bronson’s a good guy. This is not directly his fault.

And you do understand, of course, that the law as it stands puts him in a difficult position.

I’m told that he’s retiring soon. Florida’s loss.

I’d take Cody anyday over a lot of other people...especially in DC.

“By the way, Bronson’s a good guy. This is not directly his fault.”

I suppose that if the officials were to look the other way, then every shady operator out there would want exceptions. Darned shame.

Isn’t that because it’s infested with Scientologists?

LOL

Suggested sign for outside the store:

[or maybe even on I-95S entering Florida]
