“Things In Norway That Are Foreign To Me”: 25 ‘Cultural Shocks’ This American Woman Experienced After Moving To Norway

I kindly disagree. Dogs, or better yet, dog owners should behave. I've had unbehaving dogs running into my home, jumping on me, dirty me, barking through a intimate dinner, or being wet and shaking themselves dry in a place with food, wetting everything and everyone. And I'm not even allergic to dogs, but many ppl are. If a dog is well behaved, quiet, and on a leash, I'm okay, but many dog owners just let them rampage. I'm still not okay with animals in restaurants by the way. For hygienic reasons.

Except there are people who are A: Very, very allergic to dogs. or B: Are terrified of dogs. Also, C: those who haven't trained their dogs properly and the dog will relieve themselves in that public space, or potentially bite someone. I love animals, a ton, but I don't think it's a great idea.

No, sorry. I know of a couple restaurants that used to be dog friendly, but since most people won't train their dogs, after enough dog freak outs and biting incidents, they're no longer allowed. And I agree. Then add to that the number of people trying to claim their Yorkie or Chihuahua as a service dog so they can bring them everywhere, means people who actually need service dogs often get excluded or treated poorly because of some faker. I know you love your dog, but not everyone does. Leave the pooch at home. Please.

The problem is Americans scream freedom, when they are inconvenienced by simple things....like making sure your dog behaves, clean up after them, yada, yada.

For dog lovers that sounds fine,to me that sounds like purgatory.

Sometimes when I am anxious and getting myself ready to go to work in the morning I tell my cat that I wish he could come with me to work. I really do. Like kids wanting to bring their favorite toy. It's a comforting thought, like it could be horrible to go somewhere but at least you won't be all alone.

I love dogs but no. Most of the public can't train their dogs properly to be safe. Not to mention people are allergic, some are afraid and it's not fair to those people.

Although I adore dogs, my mother is very afraid of them. There are many people who feel the same. Like I said, I love dogs, but I won't disregard people because of it.

Not really I a have a huge fear of dogs and I hyperventilate and one of my friend is allergic.

My cats disagree!

And one cat to dogsit

problem here is people don't train there dogs, hell they don't even discipline there children .

except for dog bites. dog owners should be forced to have one million dollars of liability for each dog. I have been bitten by dogs whose owners had cheerfully lilted, "my dog doesn't bite". CHOMP...

They should. I cannot understand why I canr bring my dogs to inside a coffee place. I could understand not having them in the kitchen but for the rest?...

Not nuclear substations but everything else.

Emergency rooms?

I don't want flying fur of an animal I don't know around my food.

No.

No.

No.

Remember Weebl stuff says "dogs don't do science leave them at home https://youtu.be/z0wEYtmmuFQ

There is a 7yo who just got ripped up in Texas that would disagree with you.

That sounds like purgatory to me.

Truth is dog stinks and licking stuff, saliva is everywhere. I hate touching dogs.

Service animals are of course.

They are allowed in Boston (though there might be a provision for non-rush hour time) and in NYC if they fit in a carrier!

Many people bend the rules in U.S. as stores are not enforcing rules due to staffing shortages.
