If you were torn to shreds than you would be dead. Yet, Here you are!

My nephew's girlfriend has a real service animal. She's legally blind. Her dog is so well behaved that I forget he exists. Even in restaurants. And that's the point. That is how they are supposed to act.
A dog pulling on his leash in a grocery store to go greet people is not a real service dog and everyone knows it. Call them out!
Her real service dog even has an alert he does to let her know that he needs to use the bathroom. He's never had an accident in a public space. But in late 2024 I saw a tiny dog wearing a "working dog" vest poop on the floor at the Target pharmacy. The owner was all "omg! what do i do?" You clean it up, genius! You. Clean. It. Up.
Absolutely, service dogs take months and months to properly train. It's blatantly obvious which ones are true service dogs and which ones are ill behaved "emotional support" dogs.

Being in a enclosed, noisy environment with lots of strangers is a difficult situation for not properly socialized dog (i.e., fake service dog). I love dogs and have owned many GSDs through the years, and I absolutely would not want to sit next to an agitated pit bull, GSD, etc. A little yappy/snarly chihuahua in a carrier? Annoying, but not worrisome.
You may have a point if this dog did anything but it did not according to op. The sad thing is one good pit bull does not change anyone's opinions but one dog who mauls someone certainly does
And yet, when you point out the name for that, bias, people go completely unhinged, convinced their biased opinion is some sort of hard truth or fact.
People are stupidly easy to manipulate, and not very good at checking their own thinking.
I think you're the one who is manipulated since our bias is based on statistics and not our blind, stupid love for pitties.

The dog was huge, it wasn't wearing a service vest and tugging at the leash and whining for the entire boarding process. She sat a few rows behind me but they made an announcement that it was an entirely full flight so I doubt the dog had its own seat. There is absolutely no way this was a service dog. How on earth was this allowed? If that dog was next to me on a six hour flight I would have flipped the eff out. People have lost their minds.
This dog wasn't sitting next to you and didn't do anything. Yet you think the dog is the problem?

It's insane that someone had a service animal on a plane? No, it isn't.
It's insane that someone who didn't experience any sort of problem had to come on here and have a Code Brown about a nothingburger. Yes, yes it is.

Pitbulls are not service dogs.
Except when they are.
Right? Gotta love the confidence some posters have when they're just flat wrong, especially when finding the right answer is super simple. You're already on the internet...

Why do we have a scare-quotes "society" that feels entitled to judge everyone else's lives instead of just minding your own damned business?
You make it everyone's business when you bring your pitbull where it doesn't belong, like airports and stores.
You're up at 2 a.m. hating "pit bulls" on an anon board, across multiple threads, so maybe look at your own life before you post more nonsense?
If the "pit bull" was on the plane, it belonged there. You're not entitled to the reasoning. You get to mind your own business for free.
