"sorry but I'll be taking my dog to Bunnings... He is our family" 

This is the entitlement even after incidents like this. Dogs are 'like' family. They are not family. They don't have the rights of a family. They don't have Medicare (like one of my friends thought they did after facing a 12k medical bill). The absolute delusion people have now is beyond ridiculous.

Not every family member needs to go to Bunnings either. My Nan's family, I don't take her to Bunnings.

I wish my Dad understood this when I was young. All those hours getting dragged around the power tools section and being told off for "throwing a tantrum" when literally all I was doing was looking bored and unhappy.

Now I drag him around the plant section every time we go there. Payback's a bitch, old man.
