    One woman can’t help but have her furry friend tag along as a plus one for special occasions.

    She goes as far as bringing her dog along with her to the weddings of friends and family.

    This has made her brother not want to invite her to his wedding to avoid the possibility of the pup ruining the day

    Taking to Reddit to vent and get advice, he wrote: “My (26M) wedding is coming up in a few months, and I’ve been busy with all the planning. One of the issues I’ve run into is my sister (28F) and her dog.”

    He dove into what his issue with his sister’s dog was.

    “My sister is obsessed with her dog, a large and somewhat poorly trained Bernese Mountain dog (cute but a demon). She takes it everywhere with her, including family gatherings, despite the fact that many of us have asked her not to.”

    The dog seemed to have quite a history of disrupting occasions.

    The man wrote: “For context, her dog has caused a lot of problems in the past. At my cousin’s wedding, her dog knocked over an elderly guest and tore up some of the decorations.

    “At our family’s holiday dinner last year, it ate part of the turkey off the table when no one was looking. My sister always brushes it off, saying her dog is just energetic and friendly.”

    The dog's actions lead the male to not want the dog at his wedding under any circumstances.

    He wrote: “When I sent out my wedding invitations, I decided not to invite her dog. I know she will bring it anyway if I just ask her not to, so I told her that she can’t bring the dog and that if she does, she won’t be allowed in.

    “My sister was furious and said that if her dog isn’t welcome, she isn’t coming either. She accused me of not caring about her happiness and making her choose between her family and her dog.

    “My parents think I should just let her bring the dog to keep the peace, but my fiancé and I are firm on this.

    “We want our wedding to be a calm and beautiful day without any chaos. I’ve tried to compromise by suggesting she find a pet sitter for the day, but she refused and insists that her dog is part of the family.”

    Overall, he wanted to know if he was in the wrong for not inviting his sister to his wedding because she always brings her dog.

    Reddit users commented on the situation.

    One person said: "Your sister is carrying pet parenthood to the ultimate extreme. Make sure that security has her picture along with Rover's in case she decides to crash the wedding.

    "Your parents are just as bad. It is your (you and FDW) day and none of the fruitcakes have the right to ruin it. DO NOT CAVE.

    "Just had another thought. Call the venue and ask 'You do not allow non service dogs on the premises, correct?' If the person you speak to has any smarts, they will realize that you want 'NO' for an answer"

    Someone else said: "If you can afford it, you might consider hiring Security for your wedding. They could kick out anyone who shows up with a dog. And you may also need to be prepared to have your parents removed if they cause problems at your wedding, as well."

    Another person chimed in: "Entitled dog owners have got to be stopped. It's unreal how many dogs are allowed in stores and other places now. I file a complaint every time (and I mean only when they are clearly pets, not service animals)."
