Dogs are a tool of white supremacy and gentrification. That’s not just my opinion. There is research that shows how white newcomers dogwalking routes stake out territory. And white owners user their pets to socialize with other white owners excluding minorities. https://twitter.com/AngieAngeAM/status/1119209400856608768
Meanwhile if black dog-owners would show up in white neighborhoods they’d be surveilled and harassed.

When the TL starts to turn on Dogs.
Btw the takeaway here shouldn’t be “dogs are bad” or “white dog owners suck” (even if one of those things may be true) It’s that the effects of white supremacy are so pervasive that they trickle into every crack of our society...
There is no behavior or interaction too innocuous enough it can’t be a microagression or serve to reinforce systems of inequality.

This is a research thesis talks about the story of a neighborhood public space used predominantly by immigrants was replaced with a highly-policed dog park which they felt excluded from. https://www.academia.edu/19651302/Department_of_Parks_and_Gentrification_A_Tale_of_Dogs_and_Men_at_the_Shaw_Dog_Park

whale, whale, whale, what do we have here.
Point is that the same rights around dogs and the public sphere are not equally applied.
