you are showing a lack of cultural understanding there.
- dogs are regarded as vermin and disease spreaders among those who have come from countries where pet dogs are rare and rabies is high.
every day I experience people from a certain culture, express panic at the sight of my dog on a lead. Like it is some sort of escaped lion.
Just the mere sight of a dog has many first gens, in horror.
True story, we were in Hertfordshire just a month or two back and I was in the pub I've adopted as my local when I'm in that area. Anyway, an Asian guy walked in with his son and a labrador dog, he was obviously well known as he was greeted by most of the regulars. At this point I was enjoying a tub of chilli rice snack thingies and I dropped one on the floor, seeing the lab make a move for it I quickly picked it up and this guy said 'didn't you want the dog to have it', I said I was a bit worried as they're quite hot and spicy and he said 'don't worry about that mate he's half Indian'. Everyone within earshot lol'd.
