    Therapy, support, service dogs: who are they? | Casey’s Corner (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Lately, I’ve seen more and more folks bringing their dogs into supermarkets, as if it’s totally acceptable. By law, pet dogs are not allowed in grocery stores. Even if it’s a tiny Chihuahua that fits in your backpack, dogs are prohibited. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration explicitly forbids live animals in places that sell or handle food.
