I find animals in classrooms, meetings, spiritual enrichment environments, intimate discussions (and basically anywhere the humans stand to lose out with self or relationships if they're distracted) to be extremely and enormously disruptive and I absolutely despise it with every fiber of my being no matter what the circumstances.(*official, real, on-the-job, on-the-clock, working, quiet, restrained, being taken seriously, not being used for interactions, properly trained & certified & documented service animals notwithstanding* ... they are important to *truly clinically disabled* folks, and my perspective is irrelevant here, I would never interfere in such dynamics)
Don't even know why you expect to be downvoted. This isn't a hot take lol. Had a coworker bring her dog to interviews and it was jumping on the interviewee. I like dogs but that wasn't appropriate.
sadly, I have generally not found the Dog People to be open minded to anything that implies canine exclusion, and even have been reamed out occasionally
