This didn't happen. If there was an emergency, I wouldn't want children in the middle of it. Wanna ban them, too?

Idiotic response.

Yeah, no big deal until one bites you on the face.

But it didn’t.

Draw of the luck. You know what guarantees that they can't possibly bite anyone? Not having them in the cabin full of people.

I'm sorry you're so completely cranked up about something that didn't even happen. There are meds for that.

Touch grass, and then call a therapist. You deserve to be less spun out.

I'm not OP, you idiot. You deserve to be mauled by a dog in an enclosed space where there is no escape route. Honetley. I'm so done with you dog obsessed morons.

Definitely seek clinical help. You appear to be in full psychosis. Over an internet post.

Grass won't be enough. Get professional help, stat.

I was nipped by a "friendly" poodle type of dog, not even that big, but it was freaking annoying because I also have a blood clotting disorder. Owner claimed it never happened before. I was passing them by and it just suddenly lunged at my leg.
Shit happens and that's why we have rules that prohibit these unpredictable animals on planes. To claim otherwise is a mental illness or something even worse.

What do you do in this situation? Do you have to get a rabies shot?

I am pretty annoyed by the lack of any controls around service dogs on airlines. You can just get a designation from the internet or your therapist who is licensed with barely a BA degree and bring whatever dog on. I’ve seen dogs run away from their owners at security, poop on the carpet while waiting in security, and shake in terror and cry for an entire flight. And while I actively seek out seats next to retrievers or other sweet dogs, I would absolutely complain about being seated near a pit or having my kid sat near one.

I don’t know why the FAA or airline industry doesn’t set up a certification program for in flight assistant animals where you have to prove that your dog can follow commands, be approached by strangers without growling, etc. hospitals do that for dogs that go into hospitals, nursing homes or hospices. It could be a very similar test.

Maybe they'll move you. They might also offer to bump you to the next flight.

People with other disabilities need to make advanced arrangements. The person with the service dog did. Why can't you?

Airlines allowing dogs in the cabin should designate certain rows as dog rows so other passengers can make sure they don’t get seated in those rows if sitting next to a dog would be uncomfortable for them. If there are too many dogs on a flight and no seating in those rows, the dogs can catch the next flight.

Put down the bottle and log off. You're ragetyping again, and you seem completely out of control.

And using ableism as a "sick burn" is a massive self own. Just in case you were trying to sound like a decent, reasonable human being. You don't. You sound like you're projecting. Hard.

Please don’t. Just keep your nasty dog off planes. That will be enough. And do F off.

Not PP, but assuming the dog has had its shots, probably not. Dogs usually have to show proof of vax status to board a plane, so odds are you're fine.

How do we even know it was a 'pit mix'? Are you saying the dog "looked pit" and that's the only problem you had with it.

If so, this is a you problem.

My husband isn’t a fan of dogs (was bitten as a child) and has dog allergies, yet he had to sit next to this dog for 5+ hours.

It wasn’t wearing a vest and the person traveling with the dog didn’t have any obvious issues. They basically ignored the dog the entire flight.

There should be a rule that you need to buy all 3 seats if you plan to put your big dog in the middle seat.

MOST of the things service animals help with are invisible. you only think about guide dogs for the blind. But dogs do a zillion other things for people that you wouldn't "see." I'm sure your husband doesn't "look" allergic to dogs. By all means if your husband had a bad allergy he should have asked for his own accommodation but apparently he didn't.

I really hated that comment by PP because of what you say. Most people who use service dogs don't have a visible disability. Medical alert dogs are some of the most common and you generally can't see what they're trained to do unless the person is having an active episode. Other thing I dislike is that you should be required to buy a whole row of seats to travel with a service dog. That's not legal, the dog is considered a piece of medical equipment. Do some people choose to do that or would it be a good idea to seat the person/dog in the bulkhead or next to open seats? Sure. But you can't tell someone with a disability they are required to spend 3x as much on a ticket to travel. If you have an allergy you can certainly ask to be moved, I am sure someone on the flight would be happy to sit next to a dog, I know I would. And so what they ignored the dog? That's because it is working! If someone were coddling their dog the whole time the naysayers would say it's probably fake because service dogs are almost statue-like. Last point, it's a German Shepherd? Well ok, that's one of the "Fab 4" breeds of the service dog world, so that totally checks out. I can kinda see the wariness about a pit, but a Golden/Lab/Shepherd/Poodle? Come on now, those guys are the pros.
