Crazy People and Thier Purebreds

Ever notice that some people with purebreds are a little batty about their dogs?

We're talking about the Paris Hilton types who take their little dogs everywhere. What is that about, anyway? Is the dog a status symbol? An attention-getter? Not house trained, maybe?

Whatever the reason, we have to applaud this New Yorker who developed an ingenuous way to take her dog with her wherever she goes. From the Overheard in New York archives...

He's a Service Rat

Deli guy: You can't have that dog in here.
Lady: But he's a service dog!
Deli guy: What? We'll get a ticket if you have a dog in here.
Lady: He's a service dog. He's just like a seeing eye dog.
Deli guy: What is he, a chihuahua? A poodle? He's not a seeing eye dog.
Lady: He's a Pomeranian! And he's a service dog! He even has a little vest, do you need me to put him in his little vest?
Deli guy: He look like a rat with a wig on.
Lady: He's a service dog! You can't make me leave! He's just like a seeing eye dog!
Deli guy: But you're not blind!
Lady: I could sue you if you make me leave! I'll put him in his little vest, then you'll see!

Someone put this woman out of her misery and get her a shelter mutt! Maybe she'd like a nice, big Great Dane mix!

I saw a woman the other day with a double stroller and she was pushing her two bichon frises around the store!
