    Have dog owners gotten even worse? I have a dog that I love and I take good care of, but like half the dog owners I see have horribly behaved dogs and don't seem to mind.

      I think a lot of people got dogs without thinking it through during the pandemic. I love my husky to death but taking care of her's a big commitment.

        My (now ex) wife and daughter got ours during the pandemic too. I ended up doing like 95% of the work with her, but I did end up doing the classic 'dad who didn't want the dog ends up loving it the most'. I still do not like puppies, other than for a few minutes. They are so annoying most of the time.

          Puppies are absolutely great in ten minute bursts. Ten minutes of adorable a day? Fantastic. 24 hours of adorable? Oodles of pain.

        I don’t know if it’s just the oversight. Online at least, it seems that obnoxious dog owners outweighs obnoxious cat owners. Like whenever I see some annoying conservative or hippy dippy advocating for stupid “alternative” nonsense, they usually have a dog lol

      They’ve gotten worse where I live in that people used to get those fake service dog vests so they could take their dogs inside shops and restaurants. Now they just bring their dogs in without the vests. And stores have cut so many corners with hiring bare bones staff that no one’s around to tell them they can’t bring a dog in.
