[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would contact the airline and ask what their protocol is.  I'm sure they would let an allergic person seated next to you switch seats.  Although I've never seen a support dog on a flight, I see people bring support dogs with them to the ER.  I've never seen another patient complain (and to be honest, my coworkers and I love seeing dogs in the ER even though we know we can't touch them!!)[/quote]

Dogs do not belong in a human ER.

Wtf is wrong with dog people?!?[/quote]

you're a huge fucking idiot - it has been proven that exposure to dogs can help aide in recovery time.  when i was in the hospital, after i was involved in a head on collision with a drunk driver, there was a service where the hospital brought dogs in to visit patients for this very reason.

There was a thread a while ago by some of us who are chronically ill and have had to actively fight to opt out of these visits because we weren't benefitting and no one bothered to ask if we wanted a dog in our room. When my MIL was recovering, she had a minor stroke following a visit. She'd been terrified of dogs since having one sicced on her as a teen in the civil rights movement.[/quote]

When my mom was wheelchair bound in a nursing home a nurse brought  her 2 labs which were trained for the job.  They were always on leash.  Only those willing were approached.  I have been attacked by a dog [each time a pit mix] in the dc area and also boxer and doberman. Each of those was a police haul off and one attacked a mailman -out of work for minimum 6 months.

Emotional support can be BS and current news includes an "emotional support" [b]muzzled pitbull [/b]being [b]denied boarding by American Airlines[/b].  http://www.wlox.com/story/32687346/emotional-support-dog-banned-from-flight-leaving-richmond

Time to write a thank you note to American Airlines!!!
