loose dog in small local Sainsbury

Six pages of comments and opinions….

To sum up.

Sainsbury’s don’t allow dogs in their stores, convenience or otherwise, with the exception of assistance dogs.

Seeing as this dog was loose, i.e. not on a lead, or with a harness or similar on, then we can assume it wasn’t an assistance dog.

Therefore, it shouldn’t be in the shop.

The End.

Apologies, it’s now 7 pages.

"The End" haha. Are you The Terminator 😀
What's the point of stores having rules if they don't enforce them?

To a degree dogs are unhygienic in the home but less so than many humans are unhygienic in the home.

Hard floors are more hygienic than carpets. like so much else in life it depends, or as they say everything is relative.

The company of a dog is so important to some that the extra work of caring for a dog is well worth while. The people who visit me all like dogs and are generally tolerant in other ways too except for stuff that really matters such as murders and wars.

May I say, I don’t have any problem with dogs being in shops as long as on a lead. I’ve trod in babies vomit and poo from a leaky nappy in shops before now. My son lives in Switzerland which is the cleanest country I know and dogs are accepted everywhere even in bakeries provided they stay away from the counters. They also have to pass a two day exam before owning a dog to prove they are fit, able and responsible for dog ownership something I think this country should consider.
