I live in Chicago, and every time I step outside I encounter someone with a dog. As someone who loves dogs, I don’t mind it at all. Around here people bring their dogs everywhere.
Some people hate that, and I get it. I don’t always want to be sitting next to an animal when I go out to eat either. There are many legitimate reasons people need to bring their dogs with them though.
One Redditor stated in r/UnpopularOpinion that people who bring their dogs to public places are attention-seekers and it sparked quite the reaction from commenters.
