BOCA RUDETON: Dogs, Froyo, And Drivers Who Can’t Park

Welcome To Boca Rudeton For Sunday, The Place Where Self Absorbed Dog Owners — And Others — Embarrass Themselves In Public…

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Those disgusting people with their disgusting dogs continue to clog stores, restaurants, and other local places as they tell the normal residents of South Palm Beach County that they couldn’t care less about health or safety. That’s the takeaway from this week’s collection of Boca Rudeton submissions.

We start at Yogurt Emporium at 6063 SW 18th Street in Boca Raton where our tipster captured five — count ’em, five — dogs in the restaurant at the same time. Just one dog is technically illegal, so you’ve got to wonder what direction Yogurt Emporium ownership is looking that it doesn’t see that it’s got a problem. Wrote our tipster: “Five dogs brought into shop by customers all at the same time. Their attitudes were arrogant and entitled. When told by other customers they were in violation of the law, they laughed and called them pathetic. A truly disgusting and obnoxious display by our very entitled Boca visitors and residents and their dogs, who believe they are above the law.”

Just in case you want a better view of the people involved, here’s a larger look at the photo we received:

We move next to nearby Golf, FL, where the man, below, apparently needed his dog to go shopping at the Publix at 11200 South Military Trail. Publix has signs all over its stores — in large part thanks to BocaNewsNow.com’s reporting — reminding customers that it’s illegal and a violation of store policy to bring a pet into Publix. Of course, maybe the ball of fuzz is actually a highly trained service animal that can save a life. Maybe.

Our next stop: Panera Bread at Yamato and Second Avenue in Boca Raton. That’s where this woman brought her dog without a leash. The dog shouldn’t be in the restaurant to start with, but bringing the dog in without a leash violates leash laws as well as health codes. She apparently told our tipster that she knows it’s wrong, but that her dog just doesn’t want to be left alone. We remind all the needy people out there who can’t leave their dogs alone: most places deliver.

Now it’s parking time. Let’s head to Costco in Boca Raton where our tipster wonders why the driver of this Dodge with Florida license plate QTLR39 decided to park in a lane of traffic instead not in a lane of traffic. Good question.

Let’s head over now to the Reserve shopping center at Clint Moore Road and U.S. 441 where parking selfishness never disappoints. That’s where we find a Mercedes with Florida plate 91EXUC blocking several cars when the driver just decided to plant the car where it was convenient. Again, Florida plate 91EXUC — you’re only blocking three cars. Maybe next time try for four?

And we wrap this edition with the driver of this Jaguar who decided to just leave his or her car IN A LANE OF TRAFFIC in the parking garage at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. If your car has Florida plate PJHP78 and you can’t find your car when you come home, you probably should check with the Broward Sheriff’s Office. We’re hoping they tow it — and maybe destroy it — to send a message that you can’t just leave your car wherever you want. There were two tickets on the window when our tipster shared this early Sunday. Maybe a third ticket leads to an impound lot. We can only hope.

So who is our winner this week? Stiff competition but the winner has to be the group of people with five dogs in Yogurt Emporium. It’s really special that these people are so needy that they can’t even get yogurt without bringing their little fuzzballs of love with them, so everyone can experience dog hair and whatever else they leave behind. To these people we award you a container of Clorox wipes, or the cheaper Amazon basics version. You clearly need to have your approach to community cleaned up. (No one wants your dog where they buy food!) We also offer Yogurt Emporium its own container of wipes — and who knows, maybe a visit from a health inspector.
