[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love dogs and I thoroughly respect trained service dogs.
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.
