. I have had lots of dogs (and cats) and my children have packs of dogs, or so it seems. I love dogs. There has never been an occasion when I felt the need to take my dog to dinner or the movies or grocery shopping. Dogs are great, but they are always still dogs. Folks may really love their little fur babies. But, as the Spouter noted, some people are allergic, some people are afraid and some people just don’t like dogs. Keep your dogs at home.
