Should Boise's Costco Allow Dogs?

If you've been to your friendly neighborhood Costco lately, you may've noticed something a little different.

And no, we're not talking about the water samples they're handing out in aisle 11. They've been sitting out for an hour and a half. Just imagine how much dust and germs must fall in those cups. But you do you.

More and more Costco shoppers are reporting people bringing their pet dogs into the store.

While the post above is from Seattle, we're seeing this type of story pop up from Costco locations across the country. People are bringing in their dogs, big and small, to shop with them in Costco like it's no big deal.

For the record, no you cannot bring your dog into the story because they're cutesy and demure. They have to be a service dog, or you're breaking Costco store policy.

So, what do you think? Should shoppers be free to bring their four-legged friends into Costco to peruse and shop like it's no big deal? Or should the Boise Costco stick to its guns and only allow service animals in the store?

You tell us.

By the way, if you are a proud card-carrying member of the Costco, you may want to be aware that they've made some...changes to their membership policies as of late.

Here's the details in case you want to get caught up.

Just...don't bring your chihuahua.
