Where is the thesis statement in No I Don't want to pet your dog by Farhad Manjoo?

"Sometime in the last decade, dogs achieved dominion over urban America. They are everywhere now, allowed in places that used to belong exclusively to humans, and sometimes only to human adults" Or possibly "It’s a dog’s world. We just live in it. And it’s awful. Bad dogs!" since that really gives the point the author wants to make- that this is a bad thing. It comes late because the author is giving examples of dogs being in places they don't belong, like his gym. An anecdote like that is a common introduction to a general interest article because it draws the reader in, and a narrative is more intereting for readers then statistics.
