Man Brings Dog to Take Costco Membership Photo and Everyone's Into It

Costco is one of the world's best places. Everyone loves it there; you can buy huge quantities of things, grab a rotisserie chicken, and then stop up front for a cheap hotdog when you decide not to eat the chicken in your car.

Costco also has no shortage of items for our furry friends, from beds and cat trees to toys and good-quality food for them. Costco really seems to care about our furry friends, so it's no surprise that on Tuesday, July 23rd, one man wanted to bring his pup in for his membership picture:

Adrianna Lisette saw this happen and needed to share it with us, which we're all glad she did. I still haven't done my Costco picture...

This man has his dog in a harness, it looks like; he just wants to bring him in for the picture. Nobody around him seems to mind that the dog is there, including employees. How could you be mad that there's a dog there when they're so precious!

Costco doesn't have any rules for their photos, only that it needs to be a full, unobstructed view of your face, and your card number needs to be visible on it. Theoretically, you could hold literally anything you wanted in your Costco picture, including a dog, a cat, a hot dog, a watermelon...

Is Costco Pet-Friendly?

This guy is not the first ever to bring his dog with him to Costco; literally every time I go, I see at least one dog there, just chilling and walking down the aisles. Most of the time, they don't even have service vests, so I'm rarely sure if they're service animals or not.

Technically, only service animals are allowed in Costco stores, gas stations, and food courts. Regular pets are not supposed to be allowed into warehouses. However, as with most stores, whether you can bring your dog without getting in trouble often depends on the specific store you're going to.

A lot of management teams in a lot of stores "look past" the rules and let pets into the store, even if they shouldn't. Costco sells food and can be pretty loud, so bringing your dog in to shop around is not ideal regardless. However, of course, service animals are always welcome, and any pets you bring into the store need to be on-leash and well-behaved. Costco reserves the right to kick you out if your dog is misbehaving or disrupting other customers. Luckily, this sweet puppy was just there to be a prop!
