John, I met a guy at QFC who had a small (18 inches) python with him. She was gorgeous and I love snakes, so we started to chat, but I can see how that could be a problem, given that many people have extreme snake phobias.

Can I bring my python into Starbucks? He isn’t certified but he’s cleaner than a homeless person as one commenter said.

Is the “general cuteness” of the animal the determining factor in what’s publicly acceptable?

If your dog isn’t a service dog, your an asshole for taking it to the store, period.

Ada..I dont know you…but dang I am right with you…My Friend has a service Dog, not because she paid some company 100’s of dollars but because hers picked up on her condition. He saved her live several times, seizures come when they want …not when it is convenient. he dog alerts her in time so she can lay down or sit and she can let her sister know….She takes him everywhere and he most certainly is healthier and cleaner then most people she encounters…..

Pure, unadulterated, ignorance! You have sick people running all over the place passing the flu around and you’re worried about a dog getting you sick? Get real! Study up on those things you think you can get from a dog and see what the real chances are. Slim to none. If it were so we’d have a bunch of dead vets, groomers, dog trainers, breeders and dog owners killed by their dog’s condition. That’s not the case. People like your are overly paranoid fear mongers.

As far a regulating service dogs to make it hard and expensive on disabled people. Their lives are hard enough already. But self-centered people like you only think about yourselves. Maybe one day you’ll get to experience it yourself then you’ll eat your words.

My friend has a service dog that has PLENTY of spark! The first day I met him, he did attack me in my side of the booth we were sharing. That old english sheepdog proceeded to jump up on me and lick the skin off my face! He knew I needed that, so it was allowed. My friend does not allow him to do that, but because it was a need, she allowed it. That dog was the epitome of perfectness until he sensed I needed doggie loving.
