[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Article says you can only have pets (other than service dogs) if they’re in a secured container from which they can not escape. How did he get on with the dog in the first place?[/quote]

What makes you think it wasn't a service dog?[/quote]

This is how people with a legit medical need move in the world with a service animal.

This was a pet. Tragic, but it could have been prevented if the owner was responsible with their pet. And please let's not pretend like this isn't a growing problem.

Nope.  there is no one way of what it is supposed to look like if you are speaking about a service dog.[/quote]

NP
I can absolutely guarantee that a service dog shouldn’t be 450 feet away from its owner. [/quote]

The article says the dog owner was 450 feet away from the driver, not from the dog.  Basically, he was  exiting one of the last cars of the train.

Service dogs provide different services.  A dog who alerts for seizures for example may sometimes be a few feet away.

That isn’t to say this was a service dog, just to say that not being on a harness isn’t a sign that it wasn’t.[/quote]

A service dog a few feet away from its owner/handler outdoors going for a walk, is one thing. But indoors, the service animal should be right beside and within arms reach of its person. This is common sense safety. And of course, pets shouldn't be brought in stores or public transportation anyway unless fully restrained or contained.

I'm not saying the punishment for owner negligence should be death, but this was preventable due to the owner's own negligence. WAY too many dog owners these days are completely irresponsible.
