But the dog wasn't aggressive nor did it snap. Op didn't even realize there was a dog but, once she saw it was a "pit bull" she was worried about it potentially being aggressive? You know what that sounds like right? Judge the actions not the breed. |

Thought it wasn’t a breed. |
No way- how could it have been crated? My 9lb Yorkie barely fits under the seat and he's about the size of a pit bull puppy. |
A pit bull needed strong jaws to help it hold on for its life.
This ability to hold on was bred into them, both purposefully by breeders and unintentionally, as the dogs that held on would survive longer. Pit bulls are also noted for being very stubborn and strong; this, combined with their breed purpose, makes it difficult to shake a pit bull off. While other dog breeds may bite and let go, a pit bull is likelier to try and hold on. |
My kid is terrified of dogs. I would be extremely mad if this happened. |
They dont have locking jaws, soo I guess that isnt a problem? |
Err none of this is true. #fakenews |
I guessed you missed my "air quotes" You know very well I was just using language that we have agreed to use. Pit bull is an umbrella term for five different breeds but, for the dum-dums in the back ( jhint hint ) we gotta speak S.L.O.W. Got it? |
Op isn't going to get someone kicked off the plane because they have a pit bull. They just aren't. So options that you may have if you find yourself in a similar situation would be to see if you can move seats away from the pitbull or choose to deplane and get on a different flight. The dog was so quiet that OP didn't even know it was there. Hard to insist that a well behaved dog be kicked off the plane because of what may or may not occur. Btw, I was bit unprovoked by a dog when I was a kid so I'm not a huge dog apologist. There are bad dogs and there are bad dog owners (though 99% of the time a dog is bad because of bad owners). |
Even if the dog was so well behaved that you didn't even notice it was there? We don't necessarily want to hear your children on the plane but, we all have to deal with things we don't want to deal with. |
Are pitbull defenders capable of explaining and educating without being insulting? |
![]() ![]() ![]() No way passengers dont hear kids on the plane, but apparently this dog was so silent and perfectly behaved they couldnt tell. Keep your crotch goblins under control and stop complaining about angelic dogs. |
You're correct. It's more likely that the person complaining about a perfectly behaved animal will get kicked off. Same as the people who want to start fights about the person in front of them reclining - the recliner does not get kicked off, the person making the fuss over nothing does. Actually OP, next time you are flying, maybe you SHOULD complain about the dog! Maybe you'll end up some fancy new lists ![]() |
But OP wasn’t seated near the dog. |
