Dog owners should not be allowed to take their dogs everywhere with them, and neither should cat owners.

Allergens float through the air, and sitting on the other side of the car may not be enough to avoid triggering an allergic reaction.

As someone with allergies to both cats and dogs, I would appreciate it if people left their pets at home.
