Okay, fair enough you beleive dogs are unclean so you stay out of the ways of dogs and dogs stay out of your way...thats your choice.

However disabled people cant just leave a dog that has been trained to be with them...outside a shop...Its not a pet dog that will wait patiently it is a working dog that MUST have its owner with them for them to serve their owner. Also having to be led by another human may make the disabled person feel less independant and more under pressure and more uncfomfortable....
Therefore why not just let the dog in the shop? it doesnt mean anyone has to touch it.
Itts a trained service dog that is there for a purpose and legally it should be allowed everywhere.....
