I used to have a dog, but I had to give her away because my child ended up being allergic. I love dogs and I’m sad that we can’t have one anymore but my child comes first. My child should be able to go to a birthday party at a pizza place without worrying about their throat closing up and their eyes swelling shut. I can’t shield him from the world but there are certain places he should be able to go to without fearing that he forgot to bring his emergency medication. There are already so many potentionals for contamination, prohibiting animals ( other than service animals of course) is an easy way to cut down on contamination. When my husband and I see a service dog we politely dine elsewhere because the other person was there first and we respect that they need those animals. I’m all for an outdoor patio for people who want to bring their pets but not inside. People who are allergic shouldn’t be punished because a pet is more important than someone’s well being.
