The rest of us need to NOT feel guilty and say “no” when asked if the comfort pet can be involved.
Although some truly need them it’s also an area of a lot of scams.

Yup....seems like a lot of that going around. I do not (nor likely will never) understand the liberal mind.
Based on all the replies, it seems that the majority of us love animals. But it also seems that we agree the current trend to bring a pet everywhere a person goes who’s using the “comfort pet” excuse is just that, an excuse to bring Fido along, and to hell with the possible health, or other risk and discomfort it brings to others.

It’s a 1974 all original with factory A/C, 4 speed, and the 454 engine. It’s the last of the BB for a long time, and the first to have no chrome bumpers.

Incredible what’s going on today.
If I am in a public place, and I get bit from one of these dogs, the owner and the store will answer to my concerns about it in another public place.
The issues that OP has illustrated is exactly why Therapy Dogs + Handler must pass periodic evaluation exams. Our bichon is a therapy dog and my wife is the handler. She is also active in the evaluation organization. These controls are not a responce to government-anything.

I've had a few vettes. My last one was the 50th anniversary convertible, miss it.

I have a lot of fun riding around in it. (Only in clear weather).
If dogs are allowed on airplanes, they should be confined or muzzled. I had a dog when I was a child. My brother and I could do anything to this dog and it was fine. The dog did not like little children and would nip their hands when they approached. No blood -just enough to stay away.

We almost always have good weather in Florida
Obviously a dog or even a cat can go crazy in an instant. Our mail person won't deliver mail some days. I seem to live in pit bull territory, but we harbored one for a couple of months that was as gentle as could be but was killed by another one. A block away while riding my bike a nasty one got my leg. Yes, he was known by animal control!
The other side to this story is sometimes people shouldn't be let out of yard without a leash either. Dogs bite, chew and spread germs, but people spread germs, diseases, but people shoot each other more often!
