>However if it were a child or family would you leave it all alone in a 500 square foot apartment for 8 hours a day 5 days a week while you went to work? Or would you feed them the the exact same food every day? In those cases "its just a dog" right? This is also where some entitlement comes in. People faking that they have service dogs so they can get it into their apartment building then leaving it while they're at work all day, especially if they're single. I love dogs but I'm not going to own one until I can personally make sure I'm providing a good environment and training for it. That's not a studio apartment in Central LA at this moment so I'm happy to wait. It's not a child but it is a being I'm responsible for.
