Why do dog lovers think that it's ok for them to be all up in your personal space?

Personal space is even dominated by the dog while I’m on the phone with my bf. He’ll literally get the do worked up so she’ll bark and I’ll be talking about my day, and he’s literally listening to the dog over me. I think it’s a way of them disrespecting you without actually saying anything to you. They can use an animal as a tool to push you away. It’s so sad. It’s gotten to the point where the dog is brought up for literally anything it does. If it were something really neat, I’d probably be okay with it, but it’s over anything and the dog can be horribly behaved, mainly because my bf spoils her and doesn’t give her boundaries.
