AN ITALIAN SHOP owner decided to take things into his own hands when he kept seeing dogs being tied up outside his store.
Gianfranco Galantini, the owner of Unes grocery store in Liano, Italy created a compartment for dogs in his stores shopping trolleys.
His supermarket has now been dubbed the ”most pet-friendly supermarket” on social media.
And the dogs look very happy about the new development:

does any body know why dogs are not allowed on public transport in Ireland ? in most of Europe it’s not a problem. just buy them a ticket
was there an incident years ago that changed the law ?
like dogs not allow in pubs ? did something happen ? and don’t give me that bull about possible food poisoning if that were true there would be a lot of sick dogs owners everywhere
I’m reminded of my grandmother’s dog years ago. She would walk into town and her dog would follow her. After a while he would get bored of town and hop on the bus home, by himself. He used to recognise people from his local area getting on the bus, I reckon. The bus drivers and ticket guys never had an issue with him.
That’s a good point David. I brought my dog to the shops yesterday for a walk and they have a dog chain and bowl of water outside the shop for dogs.but my dog is quite elderly and not as sprightly as she used to be and her bladder isn’t as robust as it used to be.id be terrified she would pee in the shop.
I often see small dogs on the Limerick/Dublin and Dubkin/Sligo train, some people carry little crates for them, other just keep them on a lead, not much hope of being allowed on with my three doberman I suppose though.
The dogs in pub situation was something that happened with MVP on clanbrassil street. They wrote back to the HSE seeking clarification as to why and never received any response so went back to operating as dog friendly, a new dog friendly cafe only opened up somewhere in town a few weeks ago, still a few places around town that seem dog friendly
You can bring a dog to ireland on stena line it says you will need a pet passport but you will not be asked to show it . you can travel on Irish rail with no problem as long as it stays on its lead . didn’t I see a horse on the luas not long back? I’d rather be on a train or a pub full of dogs ,than be on or in with screaming kids
Love it
Cleaner than kids and quieter too with all their screaming and running around!
Good idea they’re cleaner than your average human in ireland
Its OK until they piss all over the shop… Literally
Happened in a shop I used to work in. Dog shat all over the floor and it was a scuttery one too!!
My dog would need a bigger basket and help from 2 shop assistants to lift her into it…
You’d have to be barking mad to go along with this idea
Clean up, Aisle 6.
Such a dumb idea, those vile stinking animals shouldn’t be near grocery shops.
Great for the pretentious owners though…”cute” photos of said stinking creatures clogging up the internet.
I’ll bet people never ask you to christenings.
Neal I burst out laughing here at work and now everyone thinks I’m a mad man. Classic statement.
Simon you are a dryballs.

Small dogs are allowed on the train
Was in my bookies yesterday, Boyle Sports Clontarf. Told I could no longer bring my dog in. After a walk on the prom, I always end up in BS Shop – I don’t bring him in, he brings me in. Its part of his routine. Told me it was because of Health & Safety !!! Any1 know of any bookies shop in Clontarf Fairview Artane, which is dog -friendly. Woff woff.
what is that they think might happen ??
I was told – A punter might trip over a lead.
What’s a woff woff?
There is EU food hygiene legislation that no dogs are allowed into shops that sell food exception is guide dogs they are allowed for obvious reasons so not sure how this supermarket in Italy been allowed A retailer also might have a problem with an insurance company if public had an accident Most dogs are fine but I used to work in retail and you be surprised as to what a dog can get upto in a supermarket some is funny and some it’s not
Bring a poop bag -won’t help with pee though !
F*cking disgusting.
have your say
