If you're allergic to dogs, I don't know how you can plan to avoid probable problems with a potential proliferation of pretend pooches...perhaps purchase portable pre-filters? http://www.walgreens.com/q/surgical-face-masks

If you're allergic to dogs, would you wear a face mask in the parks to avoid inhaling allergens?

The other title wasn't cutting it -- so here's the sensational, attract the "passionate posters" version...

Actually, I want to know if people will wear masks to protect themselves. Or didn't you see the poll?

But thanks for commenting.

You need a particulate matter respirator, not a surgical mask. A surgical mask doesn't keep stuff out. It only keeps your stuff from getting into the patient's body cavity.

Something more like this?

That's an N95 and it should work against dander and other particles.

I voted on behalf of my DH. I know he would never wear a mask. DD12 is allergic, too. If she was having a problem, she would probably wear a mask because she would like the attention .

It is SO aggravating to me that people bring their pets in stores. I have an outside dog and have owned pets my entire life. I worked in a prison and was subject to drug dogs coming in and I participated in training where I was the person who held the item soaked in marijuana for the dog to find. So, I am not afraid of dogs. However, we were at Home Depot and a person's dog was barking so loudly and aggressively that I was worried that I would look up to see him tearing down our aisle any minute. Here come all kinds of Home Depot employees and I think something will be done. Well, we rounded the corner and almost bumped into an employee carrying a bowl of water. They were doing something all right, giving the dog water and petting him.

We were in Walmart and a person had their dog lying in the floor under the jewelry counter chewing on a toy!

I've seen trained dogs and it's obvious these weren't service animals because of their poor behavior.

I won't even talk about the monkey riding around on a woman's head inside of Lowes!!!!
