Dogs were bred to be around people, not to live with them. Historically dogs stayed outside of human dwellings.Most breeds are not "outside dogs" livestock guardians and more 'primitive' less developed breeds are though. The majority need to be physically near their people at most times (we made them this way genetically) or they get neurotic and a bit feral. Some breeds this applies especially so with like shepherds, rotties, dobies etc.
Dogs were domesticated 30,000 years ago. So we all lived together in caves for 20,000 years, then in a village for 10,000, and now were back to a simply more elaborate cave.Dogs were bred to be around people, not to live with them. Historically dogs stayed outside of human dwellings.
Maybe some royalty kept their dogs inside.
Dogs sharing the living space with humans is a very recent phenomenon and is likely the cause of their misbehavior.

I'll add just about every modern study done says people with dogs live longer, have less stress, etc.
Most monkeys are better controlled than the little one across from me a couple days back … woman with more money than brains tried to strap a 2 year old into his own business class seat - no child seat … It was crazy …Most dogs are better behaved than most kids. I think I'd rather see dogs in stores than someone with kids.
Spoiler Alert: The person's hand that touched your food and put it back is far more unsanitary than any dog roaming the aisles, as well as the toddler sitting in the shopping cart. Little buggers are walking Petri dishes.It's not ok in food stores. It's unsanitary, and it's the same reason we can't go barefoot or topless. It's crude and goes against polite society even if it's "probably ok."
Sure, keep telling that to yourselfSpoiler Alert: The person's hand that touched your food and put it back is far more unsanitary than any dog roaming the aisles.
I presume they slept at their feet and kept watch, like mine do today?So you’re telling me that we domesticated dogs 30 thousand years ago to guard and alert us of any danger and then we allowed them to sleep and dwell in our caves?
It's objectively true. The dog is not touching the food on the shelves. The owner might touch the dog, and then touch the food, but that's not really cause for concern. You're more likely to get a nasty C. Diff infection from the person that took a dump and didn't wash their hands.Sure, keep telling that to yourself
Yes, we deal with this occasionally with people thinking the only type of service dog is a German Shepard leading a blind person.I see a lot of comments on fake service dogs. While I completely agree - its like non-handicapped people parking in the handicap zone - its really hard to tell. For example over 1% of the population has epilepsy, and they have epilepsy dogs that can sense an oncoming seizure usually several minutes before. They have no idea how, but the trained ones are pretty much 100% accurate.
So don't assume that every able bodied person walking around with a service dog is faking it.

Not sure what your point is. You essentially said dogs were barn animals above, when there is substantial archeological evidence that clearly contradicts that.I mean sure, there is not much difference between your life and that of an average cave dweller. So I’m sure whatever you do with your pet applied back then
That’s same archeology tells us these stones were carved and fitted using nothing but a hammer and chisel.Not sure what your point is. You essentially said dogs were barn animals above, when there is substantial archeological evidence that clearly contradicts that.
You don't like dogs, and you don't want them in your store. I get it, and its fine with me as well. However some of your other comments are factually incorrect.

This is true. Some animals are born completely bad/rotten... I've seen it in cattle, hogs, chicken, dog and cats. Usually they all have a variation in between. Some can take alot before snapping and a small number are truly good. My uncle's Husky though she's a complete sweet heart, but she's also ran away a couple times. Back in old days no farmer allowed animals in the house, unless it was for warming purposes. If they ever found bones in caves etc they probably left over from dinner.Anybody that grew up on a farm, that includes me, will tell you that they don’t look at animals the same way city folks do.
People that actually were around animals, not just pets, know they can be unpredictable, they cannot be reasoned with and they do not belong living with humans.
I grew up on a farm also, as did my wife. Our farms were both in the family so long our great, great grandparents got it via homestead - by taking an ox cart over the prairies until they found a place they liked. So, I don't actually believe you, unless perhaps you grew up on one of those modern industrial farms, because on the family farms I am used to, the family farm dog is pretty much ubiquitous.That’s same archeology tells us these stones were carved and fitted using nothing but a hammer and chisel.
Just because there were dog bones found in a hut or cave somewhere doesn’t mean that the dog lived there. It just means it died there, everything else is speculation.
