When Nebo was 8 weeks old I took him *everywhere* in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on our trip. He went in all the shops, lodges, etc...even Kmart lol. Of course he was only 10 lbs of fuzzy cuteness then, and nobody could resist him. Somehow I don't think I'd get so far with the almost 60 lb dog he is now.

When I went on a trip last summer we had to take him everywhere. So when we'd go out to eat we just had to do the fast food thing and either eat in the car our eat outside. I tied him to the table and didn't have any problems.

Most places don't appreciate it, and like others said, you could really get in trouble if the place sells food.

I've heard that Home Depot allows dogs also, but I've yet to try it for myself. The only dog I've seen in there was a small chi mix.

Maybe if you had one of those soft carriers with the strap and kept him inside they wouldn't mind or notice, I don't know.
