[quote=Anonymous]For all of the PPs blasting pet owners who fly with their dogs, let's take a step back. Do we actually know why this woman was traveling with her kids and her dog? Sometimes you really have no choice but to bring your dog with you.

I have 2 French bulldogs and they have each flown once because we had no other options.  When we moved across the country, we had only 1 dog then, and he stayed in a soft-sided pet carrier under the seat in the cabin. The second time, we had to fly last minute due to a family emergency.  We put the older dog in a kennel but our new puppy was too young to be boarded (no kennel would take her) and we couldn't find anyone to pet sit at the last minute, so she had to come with us. Again, she stayed in the carrier under the seat without any problems.  Both times my dogs met the airline requirements, we paid the fee, and there were no problems.

Are there people who try to take their dogs everywhere?  Absolutely.  But many pet owners aren't like that.  And just because you see a dog or cat on a plane doesn't mean the owner is the former. [/quote]
