Do people do any
research before making statements like that?
Even the American Kennel Club, the ultimate pro-dog group in the US, acknowledges
there is no such thing as an allergen free dog. From the AKC web page:
So, you want a dog but have always had an allergy attack whenever you’ve been around one — you’re not alone! According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, as much as 10% of the population in the U.S. is allergic to dogs. While no dog is 100% hypoallergenic...
So the experts on allergy and asthma say up to 10% of population may have an allergic reaction to dogs, even the pro-dog dog experts admit there is no such thing as a "hypoallergenic" dog and when I say it's not fair to people with allergies to have (non-working) dogs wandering around airports and climbing on the furniture I get attacked by first post trolls and people who've never looked at the science of the issue. Yeah, that's pretty much the way FT is going now...
