You'd think that after four moths you'd be used to it by now, but I still find it really weird that in Austria the people are allowed to bring their dogs in places with them, like restaurants!
Now I come from Portland which is a very dog friendly city. Some shops are really accommodating to pets and have nice doggy tie up areas in the shade, with little dishes for water, but here they totally beat us. Because you wouldn't tie your friend up outside to wait or your child, so why should your dog? Into the cafe the come. And its not like small little dogs that you could fit in your purse or seeing eye dogs, people bring their big dogs in on a leash.
I don't know if there are maybe regulations or something to the dog rules. Because I've never seen the dogs in clothing stores or fancy restaurants, just in cafes, all the time, and on buses, (but we might be allowed to bring or dogs on buses in Portland too). And maybe its just dogs that can behave themselves, because every dog I've seen in cafes never makes a sound, they just walk quietly in and don't even stop to sniff people and their food.
I mean I would think their would be hygienic or allergenic issues with it but like I said earlier, different land different priories.
