I'm with you. Dogs are NOT people, and when dog owners think they are, they place their dogs happiness above actual people. We had someone that brought in 1 dog, it was a Border Collie and it was peaceful and still a distraction. I'd immediately put in my 2 week notice if I had to put up with more than 1, no joke. I go to work to work not babysit, smell, or listen to barking dogs. Even if they were quiet just having something roaming around from desk to desk with those jingly dog collars that sound like eternal Christmas is annoying. Some people have no respect for silence anymore. It's bad enough many offices have an "open space" setting which disrupts thinking, pisses off and stresses employees, and lowers productivity, the last thing I need a bunch of dogs walking around, making noises, watching me eat my lunch, begging for food, needing to be let out, farting, smelling like dog pop after coming back in, smelling like wet dog after a rain, etc. Combine that with my distraction of cute things and I won't be able to get any work done.
Who is the company taking care of? Dogs or Humans? From all my unfortunate experience having to put up with my immediate neighbor's dogs, dogs in my neighborhood, and dogs at work, I've noticed a certain percentage of dog owners are the dog equivalent of a "crazy cat lady". They think "dogs are people", should have access to every place humans do, should bark all they want, and usually value a dog's happiness over the happiness of real human beings.
