28-year-old bride sparks backlash after asking bridesmaid not to bring service dog to wedding: 'We don't want it in photos or in the ceremony'

Since dogs are allowed almost everywhere public these days, there are bound to be people who are sick of seeing furry friends pop up in places they just shouldn't be. For example, please stop bringing your pet dog to the grocery store on a busy weekend day. There is no need for that! I don't care if you're just buying one ingredient that you forgot. You're bringing an animal into a place where we all buy our food! What if your sweet puppy starts licking the lettuce, or raises its leg on a display case of sweets, or even worse, gets into a confrontation with a person or another dog? 

Have you ever been in a diner and heard panting coming from under a nearby table, only to look and see someone's Golden Retriever sitting there drooling? These dogs look bored when their owners bring them everywhere. I suppose it's nice that they're included, but a lot of the other patrons at these establishments do not want to see dog hair floating through the air, or have to worry about dogs being underfoot while they're trying to navigate a store. 

That's led some people to lump service dogs in with regular dogs, though, and service dogs should always be allowed. These are highly trained animals that provide critical medical services to their owners, and they're being unfairly blamed for the actions of regular pet dogs. Just ask this woman, who's unsure about a tough decision she has to make regarding her bridesmaid's request to bring a service dog right up to the altar with her! Should she make an exception for a service dog who helps with PTSD? Should she ask that the bridesmaid step down? Is there any room for compromise? I hope this woman posts an update about what she ends up doing, and if Fido makes it to her big day, sitting front and center with the bridesmaids, or if this wedding will be strictly "no dogs allowed."
