Dog is turn off for landlords

Editor: I have been trying to rent a basement suite or one-bedroom apartment. Everything is fine until I mention that I have a small dog. At that point, I'm treated as though I have leprosy. I have known my pug for years.

I have been trying to rent a basement suite or one-bedroom apartment. Everything is fine until I mention that I have a small dog. At that point, I'm treated as though I have leprosy. I have known my pug for years. He doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs or engage in violence. In fact, if it wasn't for being a couch potato, he'd be a perfect male.

Would someone please explain why he's such an unsuitable tenant?
