Your August 14, 2015 editorial on dogs being allowed in stores was very appropriate and needed as the issue of pets being permitted in stores is very timely. You may be interested in a story from New Yorker (Oct. 20, 2014), entitled “Pets Allowed” and the follow-up Letters to the Editor (Oct. 27, 2014) issue of the magazine. I shared the story and the letters with one of the large box stores in the area and their policy actually did change and they are now reminding customers not to bring their pets into the store.
