qwksilver Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 I am a huge dog lover, but there is no need for a dog (unless TRUE service animal) to be on an airplane. It really needs to stop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've known plenty of dogs that would be better behaved and preferable to fly with than many people. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even know they charged for this, I just assumed treated as luggage with carrier under the seat. 58 minutes ago, Simon said: It depends on the dog. If it's a jerk dog, then I agree.

I cringe a bit when I see someone with a dog waiting to get on the flight. That said, a few occasions have had a small dog very near, but not next to me, they were fine. As mentioned, have had many people I wished were muzzled and caged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really needs to stop. How about a horse? I've seen a horse on a plane. An emotional support pony. 5 hours ago, qwksilver said: I am a huge dog lover, but there is no need for a dog (unless TRUE service animal) to be on an airplane. It really needs to stop. My question would be, what if I ALSO have diagnosed anxiety that is driven by intense PTSD over a dg attack when I was a child? Whose malady trumps the other? Or lets says I were allergic to dogs and it would trigger a potentially fatal asthma attack to sit in a confined space with one? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I’d rather have a dog than snakes, but I think that only happens in cinematic classics. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
