PAX Attacked by Emotional Support Dog on Flight
Ryan Boyd June 06, 2017
According to a spokesperson for Delta Air Lines, an unidentified passenger was bitten by a fellow passenger’s emotional support dog. A fellow passenger said the victim was seated by the window and the passenger to whom the dog belonged was located in the middle seat at the time of the incident.
Delta said in a statement: “Prior to pushback of flight 1430, ATL-SAN, a passenger sustained a bite from another passenger’s emotional support dog. The customer who was bitten was removed from the flight to receive medical attention. Local law enforcement cleared the dog, and the dog and its owner were re-accommodated on a later flight; the dog will fly in a kennel.”

Dogs belong below deck, PERIOD! I love animals but under stress their instincts exacerbate.
If this was 50 lb. dog in economy, how could the pax and dog not being encroaching upon the passengers seated on either side of the dog owner.
Animals do not belong in an airplane cabin.
Airlines should require all animals to be muzzled.
That dog should never have been on the flight. They are not trained service dogs. The owner should party for all medical and emotional treatment.
