Gross, part II

This morning while at Volunteer Park I saw a woman and her dog stop at the drinking fountain. The dog jumped up and literally drank from the fountain while the lady held the button for him. His paws were in the bowl and he was slurping and drinking and grossing me out from head-to-toe. I was horrified- am I overreacting?

She probably didn't notice your dirty look. Dog people are obsessed with keeping their dogs hydrated, and they tend not to notice how this might impact children. (I speak from experience.) I doubt the water fountain got that much more sullied than it already was, and probably wouldn't hurt anybody, unless you let your kids lick the bowl.
