Just got back from Carmel, Aptos, Pacifica, Soquel…dogs everywhere. It is a socioeconomic phenomenon. The more wealthy the area, the more apt you are to see dogs everywhere, including the upscale stores and boutiques. Take a trip to Fashion Island to see the dogs in Neiman Marcus and Saks. Try taking a dog to the Target in Tustin Marketplace – that’s a “no go”.
In Paris we observed dogs in several restaurants – no problem. Maybe we’re weird here.
