Anyone ever see the episode of "Ice Pilots" where the big dog let loose in the old DC-3?

Dogs pee on board too
I was wondering where / if to post this but Wednesday on a flight from DTW to LA a twitchy woman got some big pads out of her carry on then took her purse dog out of the carrier and let it pee on the pads in the aisle. No diversion resulted but I thought that was rock bottom.
Anyone remember the emotional support pig that trashed a USAirways flight?

Was that the female owner of the "service" animal holding the leash, or FA ?
So, was HazMat called in to deal with the mess from this poorly trained & undisciplined animal?

I'm amazed they didn't offload her and her incontinent mutt in Kansas City.

Definitely a "service" dog! I've seen 2 big dogs in the cabin. One was clearly a guide dog, and one was clearly a bullsh*t case. The fake one didn't have any of the characteristics of a trained service dog, and just hung out and even barked at pax. It even had one of those mail-order little outfits, too!

I have a friend who is a a Gulf War veteran who has a service animal and often travels to give lectures. He has a Lab and it is big. His service animal wears the proper vest noting it is a working animal. No one ever has harassed him except for one restaurant who told him to leave. Well, that made the newspaper. No, I don't have the link as it was awhile ago.
He always walks his service animal before a flight.
However, dogs do have accidents.
I feel bad for everyone on board the place with the animal having two accidents and especially the owner of the service animal. It happens.

The main problem with this story is that the only person who got a scoop was the journalist.

Americans have become a needy lot.
So, what if someone on the flight is allergic to dogs the way others are allergic to peanuts? Whose rights come first in America? Just curious.

I'm not seeing it from the thread or the gawker story - did the owner and dog end up finishing the flight?

Doesn't seem like she/it got unloaded; but: "She said, 'Hey, so sorry, I want to get all your addresses so I can give you a Starbucks gift card!'" one passenger told Inside Edition.

Daily Mail reports that the dog was ill and hence got the runs so could be a proper service dog.

I feel so sorry for the pax having to endure the smell. My old dog had an accident in the house recently and I almost hurled cleaning up the mess.

I would love to know if this was indeed, a real service animal. Or is it an overly entitled a#$%^&e, who thinks, after ... messing up everyone ELSE'S flight, thinks a random Starbucks will make it all better?
