This afternoon I was completely grossed out when a couple came into Burger King, each with a dog. Hers was a rodent-like little thing with a head the size of my fist, his was a decently sized small dog. Not only did they bring the filthy mutts into the restaurant, but they then proceeded to let them loose to wander around in there while they munched on their burgers. I seemed to be the only one there who found this pretty vile.

I would have thought BK and any civilised eating place would have a policy against animals in the restaurant, if not a health code? I'm interested to know whether most people would have found this as gross as I did.

Supporting my personal opinion that these people were morons, when they left I watched them cross the street at a nearby big crossing. Or try to. The man and his dog got across, but the woman stood waiting patiently for her rat-dog to get the courage to cross, which it didn't. Instead of dragging it/poking it/pulling it/picking it up she ran back and forth as far as the leash would allow, the dog refusing to budge until she finally got trapped by the change of lights. Kind of embarrassing I thought, to be out-witted by a fist-brained size pup.

Dogs in restaurants, yes or no?

Should humans be allowed in dog restaurants?

Uniquely Korean question.











Personally, I don't think a dog in a restaurant will actually contaminate my food or bother me. People are way too 'yuck!' nowadays.

I think it's not allowed. I bet the workers are paid too low to care.

[I-am-me]

Only if they are on the menu. Otherwise, no way!

Dogs in restaurants don't bother me. It is the lack of personal hygiene in this country that gets me. I'd say more than half of all restaurant workers go to the bathroom, sneeze and blow their noses and don't wash their hans. Then, they are touching your food and drinks...YUCK!!! Not to mention, I've seen stories on here of people who let their kids pee in a cup inside a restaurant with a restroom a few feet away. Totally nasty. Not to mention truly backwards and third world style. Some Koreans act like some Mexicans back in my home state. They will pee outside with a bathroom a few feet away inside. My parents have neighbors that did this, until someone reported them. Are people too lazy to walk inside to a restroom?

There's nothing on the dogs' paws that isn't already on the bottom on your shoes, or being tracked into any restaurant already.

Would you refuse service to someone with a service dog?

Allowing them to roam around is uncalled for though. If they aren't trained well enough to sit quietly, then I agree, they shouldn't be there.

I've managed to sneak my little angel into coffee shops, department stores with "no dogs allowed" signs out front, and a few restaurants ... but there are places where I wouldn't try it. I usually keep her in a red bag strapped to my stomach, and she just sits quietly.

I've been around dogs all my life. They ate their dinner in the kitchen and were regularly given tidbits under the table. I don't think I'd even have noticed to be honest.

Back home, I some quiet out-of-the-way bars, people often bring their dogs, and many of these bars also serve food. I wouldn't care.

Finally, I've heard of some of the things disgruntled employees do to the food in fast food restaurants. A dog on your side of the counter should be the least of your worries.

I love dogs and have lived in europe for a large portion of my life, where it is allowed.

In Berlin, My boyfriend and I took our dog everywhere, the Restaurant even
gives the dog a water dish, usually the dog just hangs out under the table by your feet..

They even have dog watering holes available on the street in some areas..

Dogs on trains, buses, restaurants, in bars.. we wanted to take her into the movies but I don't think that was allowed...and she was a big dog, Doberman/Pit bull mix..She behaved very well in public....

No, its not disgusting, its normal, at least for me
