I think Tusken Raider is on to something here and I may just have cracked the case. When you hear Dalmatian your first thought is the Disney movie right? But, what's your 2nd thought? Fire station, right?Here’s a take on the “owner’s a douche” comments: he may have been ex-military, cop, etc. Lots of veterans have companion/comfort dogs nowadays due to PTSD, discharge, etc and that’s their “safe space.” In some ways, the dog helps keep their triggers at bay, and because of this they’re super protective of their pets.
If that’s the case, I could see the guy being tepid when you asked to pet the dog, and then flashing on you for what seemed like no real reason. Sounds like the guy got upset because he felt like you were in HIS space (around his dog.)
Either way, I don’t see you being in the wrong here if you asked permission before petting and he obliged. Especially if he put his dog on a pedestal for everyone to see.
You didn’t feel you did anything wrong but you apologized just to smooth things over. IMO, you’re good.
Nope. Hipster had a big beard. Fire fighters can't have big beards due to respirator/SCBA requirements.I think Tusken Raider is on to something here and I may just have cracked the case.

So, I'm thinking hipster is a firefighter that doesn't get along with the other guys in the house. So,after fighting a big blaze, he takes the fire house dog for drinks. He just fought a big fire,so that explains his surly behavior to Willie. He's protective of the dog because it's his only friend. Honestly this could be a movie script. Turner & Hooch meets Backdraft!
P.S. I was going to suggest Willie sleep with the hipster's wife. But, the dude is in a bar with a Dalmatian on the stool next to him. That's not screaming wife at home to me.
He felt like he could get away with yelling at another guest because the bar allowed his dog to be on a stool?I still very much think that the person/entity most at fault here is the bar. I really feel like that should have been one of the options to choose from. Even the ADA (American disability act) doesn’t allow for service dogs to sit on chairs or tables. That dog needed to be on the floor or under the table. I’d bet that having that dog sitting there violated several health codes. It also opened up the flood gates to make that dog an attention grabbing spectacle. Don’t get me wrong—hipster still should have handled things better—but he probably felt like he could get away with anything being that he was allowed to prop up his dog on a stool in a busy bar.
"Just stay away from any barstools"
“The dog does not face any charges and was let go with just a warning.”
Pfft. Details. In Hollywood they don't worry about things like facts. They'll use CGI or green screen or something to get around this.Nope. Hipster had a big beard.

Service dogs in restaurants is fine and allowed as long as the dogs aren’t on chairs or tables. The Disability Act clearly states that. I have no problem with dogs in restaurants as long as they are in outdoor areas or on the ground. Yes—I do believe that when a customer is clearly allowed to break rules within an establishment that they feel entitled and enabled to push the boundaries on their attitude and behavior. Being a manager of a business for 29 years—I can tell you that firsthand—the more you let customers get away with—the more emboldened and entitled they become. I had a nice client that texted me in a panic saying that they needed something urgent on a Sunday (and we are closed on Sundays). He sounded like he was in a bind, so I agreed to come in and help him as a one time deal as a thank you for his business over the years. It was the worst thing I could have done. From that moment forward—he would routinely text me about coming in before or after business hours or on Sundays. That’s just one example of many dozens that I can give you of how bending the rules a bit for a patron leads to them thinking that they can get away with more. If an employee at the bar told the hipster that his dog couldn’t be on the stool or table—I assure you that the odds of this interaction happening would be greatly reduced or non-existent.He felt like he could get away with yelling at another guest because the bar allowed his dog to be on a stool?I still very much think that the person/entity most at fault here is the bar.

Fact is, having service dogs in restaurants isn't going anywhere. The real ones you generally aren't supposed to mess with, and the fake ones, like genetically modified mini-dalmatians (who will die early because humans ****ed with their genes so they look cuter) are going to be attached to entitled toolbox owners, who would love nothing more than for you to refuse them service, thus making your dog-hating bar go viral.
This poor guy is taking a lot of crap for having a well maintained beard and trying to save someone from doggy Herpes.I know others think they have cracked the case but I think I really have

I hate dogs being on bar stools at the bar or in any place that serves food and drinks, just not into themMy birthday was this weekend and I was lucky enough to hang out with some friends all day Saturday. At the end of the day we decided to go to a local bar for a couple of nightcaps and a little food. We sit down and had a great time. At the far corner of the bar someone has brought their dog in and he (the dog) is sitting on one of the corner bar stools. It's a cute little dalmatian. We look at it and laugh at how cute the thing is sitting there at the bar. After an hour or two we are done and get up to leave. I have to pass by the dog and his owner on my way out. Well after a few drinks I can't resist and ask if I can pet the dog. The owner says sure and then something else but I honestly didn't hear anything after the sure part and went to pet the dog. The dog obviously likes to be pet and sticks his face up near mine (he's still sitting in a tall bar stool) and his tongue comes out for dog kisses or whatever. My face is close to the dog but we don't make contact. I'm a closet germaphobe and would never touch my mouth to a dog's mouth. I'm petting him for like 3-4 seconds maybe. After the 3-4 seconds the dog owner sternly says something to the effect of "Hey! I told you not to make contact with his mouth!" He's standing right there looking super miffed. I immediately stop petting the dog and apologize to the owner. i say something like "I"m sorry, I didn't hear you say that but I definitely didn't let the dog lick my face." He's super pissed off. He's a hipster type with large, perfectly manicured beard. I kind of say sorry again and walk out. My friends ask what that was all about and I say I wasn't completely sure as it happened so fast. Something about the dog's mouth. We had been drinking for a while and I wasn't 100% sober but I wasn't drunk either. We get in our Uber and that's the end of it.
So I wake up the yesterday morning and I feel bad about the situation. It's a bar that I really like going to and had a great time up to the last 5-10 seconds. Am I right to feel guilty about the situation? Did I disrespect the dog's owner by not keeping my distance from the dog's face while petting him? Is the owner in the wrong for bringing his dog inside a bar to interact with not completely sober, old people? I guess the bar has become more pet friendly with new ownership as they put in an outside patio and encouraged people to bring their dogs but this dog was inside the place sitting on a bar chair. I fairness to the dog he was extremely well behaved and a total sweetheart. I've never owned a dog so I'm wondering what dog owners here think of what happened? Was I disrespectful? That was the first negative social experience I've had in many years and I gotta say I feel a little bad about it still.

Or just mind your business. You don't have to stop and pet every dog you see.
A dog actually sitting on a barstool is a bit much, but I fully support dog friendly restaurants. It's an odd take to hear people say that dog friendly bars are gross because everyone who owns a dog and has it in their house essentially has the same thing going on in their house. Do you also refuse to visit family/friends and eat with them if they have a dog?

I don't trust anybody who isn't a dog person. They're the kind of people who refuse to be organ donors. The worst.

-This would turn out differently if it were me. I look for establishments where dogs are not welcome in that fashion.
I had an incident trying to enter a salad and smoothie shop the other day with a hipster doofus and a pit bull or something similar on a leash but not anywhere close to the owner and he wouldn't pull it back when I asked him if he would allow me to pass on the narrow sidewalk into the front door...something about "You're good!" and that just didn't sit well with me, words were exchanged for sure but I saw this thread title and was curious what transpired.
-Just to be fair, I do like cats an awful lot and have heard about "Cat bars" especially throughout Asia and I would enjoy having a drink in one of them. I guess I am more a cat person however i do not own any animals whatsoever, not a pet person in general.
