The reason many take their dog in Walmart is because of Kooks in the parking lots going car to car harassing them while a person goes in for 5 minutes. During the 5 minutes of harassing the dog to have it barking and panting they are calling real cops for their animal abuse bust. They watch shows about dog catchers and swear themselves in it seems. I've had some almost come to blows interactions with them.

That said I take my Toy Ratty {Chihuahua mix} in but she stays in my arm the entire time and I generally avoid the food section. To take her home first as to go home and come back is about a 20 mile round trip. I sometimes stop there after our daily 2 mile walk at the river. I've had kooks harass her while she was in the car even at 50 degrees outside temps.

Yes she is also my service dog. I'm hard of hearing but I also admit 90% of how she helps in in a home environment.

Well, at least your are responsible about your buddy.

I see people & pet with one of those $55. service animal vests you can get online.

That irks me.

We were at breakfast at a swanky resort in Maine, having breakfast in a restaurant. Table next to us had a lap dog allowed to sit on the chair at the table. Guess the floor was too *dirty* for the critter to sit on. Owner ordered it pancakes. I mean, really.
