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.

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.

HEre you are again comparing children to dogs. YOu are truly sick. Show up every time especially when pits are discussed. Please seek treatment for your obvious mental illness.

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.

Bahahahahahahaha you are as coherent as you are sane. Bye lunatic.

PP's post makes complete sense to people who understand English. I'd offer you the benefit of the doubt (maybe it's not your first language), but it seems like all you've done on this thread is act nasty about the possibility of a dog and its handler minding their business on a plane you weren't even on.

You clearly need the help PP hopes you'll get. They were generous, too.

Oh that's so rich. You are questioning my language abilities while completely failing to read and understand that my main objection is PP comparing a pit bull on the plane to someone's child. That IS mental illness and deserves to be called out. No, dogs do not belong in the cabin unless they are true service dogs. Those are rare. I have never seen a pit bull service dog, but perhaps they exist. Children are not equal to dogs.

I wouldn't want to encounter a lot of things on a plane in an emergency. It doesn't mean I think dogs and children are equivalent. And even if I did, having an opinion that differs from yours isn't "mental illness". I agree with the PP who called you out previously: Using "mental illness" as some kind of insult is 1) ableist; and 2) indicative of your inability to make a point.

As to your shade about "true service dogs" and their rarity, do you think it's possible that the owner and the flight crew might've had more information than you, a person who wasn't even there? I do. And I think your extremely aggressive response to this thread strongly suggests you need some practice with your emotional regulation skills.

It's a parenting board. Do you know the calm down song? How about some star breathing?

To think and act as though dogs are better than humans is a mental illness. We can and do prevent a lot of accidents by preventing certain situations (seat belts, speed limits, etc. It's not ableist to point out actual mental illness. I have a different form of mental illness and don't get offended when someone talks about anxiety or depression. Are you suggesting that it's perfectly normal and healthy to treat babies the same way we treat dogs?

Take your condescending, smug ass somehere else. That pit bull was not a service dog. I do not want one of the most and deadliest dog breeds next to me on a long flight. If you need to fly with your pit bull, pay for the fly under the plane, not in the cabin with other passangers.

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?

Stop being discriminatory,

Dogs are not a protected class, so we can discriminate to our heart’s content.

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.

You know it's luck of the draw, right?

Yes, but tell that to my perimenpausal brain please The struggle is real.
