      Yeah. This is the type of person who chains his “outside dog” up in the backyard without water on hot days.

      My dog is family. He comes everywhere possible, shops, restaurants, holidays etc.

        I don’t support cruelty to dogs. I think it’s fucked up to have them chained up alone outside, to leave in a hot car, any of that. I just also think it’s fucked up to carry them around in your purse in public settings were dogs are clearly unwelcomed. I think when you accept the responsibility of having a pet you’re accepting the responsibility of making sure all that pet’s needs, including for attention and affection, are met. This is healthy approach to dog ownership.

          You’re referencing extremes while trying to deflate the average. Most people do not carry their dogs in a purse. My pets are my family. I do not carry them around in a purse.
