How do people live without them?

Mine run off and eat it. They love roles of toilet paper and tissues.

LOL... we've always had an outside dog. They weren't allowed in the house.

FWIW

Well all keep our dogs indoors except Sol who has so many she needs to be creative.

My mom had a indoors miniature toy poodle for 16 years, but I've only kept outside dogs.

And as I live in Japan, where you don't wear shoes in the house, dogs too, have to have the bottoms of their feet wiped off each time you take them out for a walk.

FWIW

Japan, cool.
