When I learned that our corner CVS and Ace Hardware didn’t prohibit customers from bringing their dogs along while shopping, I switched to these stores.
Now, instead of purchasing drugs and odds and ends from online sellers, as I had previously done, I patronize my neighborhood establishments.
If other outlets, like supermarkets or department stores, were to turn a blind eye or post a welcome pooches sign, I’d do the same maneuver. And I believe other dog owners would follow my lead. Consider the uptick in revenue for these local businesses.
