My boyfriend and I decided to go to Dunkin Donuts on 1101 North Colony Road, Wallingford CT. on 2/26/11. to get something to drink. Well we walk in and see several elderly men and woman sitting on one side of the restaurant. And to our right there was a man standing there with his small daughter (she was around 4) and she had a small dog with her …. INSIDE!
The dog was on a lead but it honestly didn’t matter. Once I saw the dog I was disgusted enough. Then (to add insult to injury) the dog starts to defecate IN THE RESTURANT! I wanted to throw up right then and there.
The man just picked up the mess and threw it away in the garbage inside! Instead of going outside and throwing it away in the bin out doors.
The woman behinds the counter thought all this was “cute”. Oh of course because this was her family. The child was her daughter. (the little girl was calling out “mommy! Mommy!”) I proceeded to walk to the counter. I was so disgusted that I said “so… apparently it’s ok to have animals in here huh?” the woman looked at me blankly.
This WAS NOT a seeing eye dog. It was a small dog that was clearly not trained. The weather was perfectly fine to keep it in the car for several minutes without a worry. The people working there saw it ok to allow an animal in a location were people are eating food and drinking coffee/tea.
The dogs hair could easily have gone in the food/drinks. I am allergic to dogs and had a slight reaction to it. My boyfriend and I both lost our appetite after witnessing such a disgusting act in front of us.
Note: Picture attached is NOT the dog crapping. It's just the best way I can explain the service.
@Brenda it was a small little mix dog that was wearing booties and a sweater. The dog belonged to the child. Clearly her new "momentary" toy. That's not a service dog. The point is that NO ANIMALS are allowed in a location were food is being served. Dogs carry diseses in there waste. I'm not sure if you knew that or not. Also the man threw away the waste IN THE GARBAGE can were the straws, napkin, cup holders etc were also located. So when I went to put the straw in my drink I was greeted with the disgusting smell of dog crap. Would YOU eat in a place that gross? by the sound of it, you would *barf*
@Stealth. I did call the health department. I got a recording that stated their business hours are 8:30am-5pm MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY! And if you take a look at a calender for the month of February in 2011, the 26th of February is a SATURDAY. So clearly there wasn't much I could do right then and there instead of (as you so put it) "harass her". It's not "harassing" if I'm pointing something out. If I was pointing something totally unrelated then I agree, that would be harassing. Also, I did not come on here cursing. I came here to report my dissatisfaction and disgust with a location that animals are not allowed in. You really need to grow up and present yourself like an adult. Curse words and slander are unnecessary. I hope whatever aggression you are feeling today drift away.
Have a great day :)
HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF MY LITTLE CHARLIE! I LOVE THAT DOG YOU NAIVE! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL...MIDNIGHT, CASTLE CRAIG...I WILL SEE YOU THERE!
I get the pooping inside the store is not pleasant but I can guarantee you accidentally ingest a lot more dirtier stuff. So with that said I think you're totally over reacting and in need of some excitement in life so you decide to vent anger. I hope one day you will chill out.
My dog isn't a therapy dog and I bring her everywhere. 95lbs of love inside every restaurant and coffee shop that's pet friendly. I always ask the restaurants before hand if they are pet friendly. I don't know where you heard it was not allowed to have an animal where food is being served, it's simply not true. You might want to see a therapist or something. It doesn't sound like you're very happy with your life and you clearly overreacted. If you want to avoid animals I suggest asking the restaurants before hand if they allow animals or not. You can also check a website such as BringFido.com that lists many known pet friendly restaurants and bars.
Check your local laws. Most of the time, dogs are not allowed in any establishment that serves food. Maybe your the one that needs the help. I would put you and your dog out! Its nasty!
Who cares! What do u expect the workers to do,call the cops. I'm sure dog fur isn't the worst thing you have ever had In your mouth.
