Why is the unsanitary? Dogs walking around in a store tend to be cleaner than the people in there. I've seen people with filthy clothes, hands etc touching the fruit and veggies AND putting them back. How is this more sanitary? Oh, and you're an idiot.

FYI - There are actually service dogs for people with mental disorders like Bi-Polar and PSTD. So she very well may have been bat shit crazy. May want to consider HOW you say things to people you don't know. Your post sounded pretty snobby. Glad nothing really bad happened, but you definitely deserved it.

Well, op, if you're so scared you should have just turned around and peed on both the dog and the owner. Show your dominance! And they're now your property.

Mind your own ******* business! It was probably a service dog. When I have a cold, I take my dog everywhere and tell people she's my smelling-nose dog. I've trained her to roll over and play dead when she smells someone with bad BO.

I'm failing to see how the dog simply being there was unsanitary. Obviously, dogs do have the potential to create unsanitary conditions (as do people), but since the FML did not explicitly state that as the case, I'm going to have to vote YDI this time for not minding your own business and/or not being tactful when airing your grievance to the dog's owner (I can think of dozens of more appropriate things you could have said or done if the dog was bothering you somehow).

unless the dog was doing something that would cause an unsanitary situation ( which im sure u would've mentioned) u had no reason to say anything to her. next time mind ur business YDI

Next time just tell a store employee and let them take care of it...unless you are a store employee, in which case your handling of the situation was inappropriate. You ask them if it is a service dog, and if they say it is not, then you politely ask them to take the dog out of the store.

Keep your nose out of other people's business. Be glad she didn't shank ya

Was probably a service dog. Many,people think that a servicd dog are just seeing eye dogs which is not true. Some people have small dogs that help alert then of seasures that might be coming up. I think OP needs to mind her own bussiness

Way to perpetuate a stereotype of dogs being uncontrollable drool-machines. Not only was it likely a service animal for this "crazy bitch", I personally don't see how a well-trained dog is any less sanitary than a small child. In fact, I'd think the child would be less so, as they are generally treated with more lenience and less rigorously trained than dogs. YDI.
