It was quite amazing.

If you had to guess, would you suspect the 2 people the OP was referring to, each needed an Emotional Support Dog, and just happened to be involved in a need to take their Emotional Support Dogs to dog shows regularly?

Should the needs of the people needing emotional support dogs outweigh the needs of those with allergies?

I suspect there are more people that are allergic than there are that must have a dog on the plane for emotional support.

The needs of the many should outweigh those of the few.
I'd bet that Priceline guy would understand. He has friends from other places.
