[QUOTE=maokh;11756008]So it wasn't a service animal?

There were no obvious signs of it being a service animal....but service or not who wants to sit on seat after it has been hogged by a dog all afternoon?

Was he required by the FA to put on his seat belt and leave his seat back in an upright position upon takeoff and landing???

Come on!!! i think this is abusive of all of us. Some of us have allergies to animal dander. Some people are deathly afraid of being bit by a dog. Some of us wear dress clothes and really don't like to show up at our meeting with animal fur all over us. And some of us just don't need the added flight irritation of the smell of an animal on top of all the other smells that most airplanes develop by the time they hit cruising altitude...

The dog walked on board on a leash....So did he have to buy a ticket or not? If he didn't why the heck can't we all get on board like that? Is he only allowed one bag of little toiletries like the rest of us?

Or is this just another insufferable politically correct societal taboo we now face?? Just like the flight last year with the individual who so obviously required a second seat to accommodate their ample size...
