Oh, I completely agree with you! You'll please note that in my first post, I said, "UA needs to change its policy," not, "you should all never take your dogs on an airplane!"
I have not once in this entire chain directly attacked another passenger (or at least, forum poster), complying with policy or not, despite the fact that the same courtesy has not been extended to me. I have no problem with people following the rules; I have no problem with people taking advantage of the rules. I just think the rules should be changed in this case... though obviously, many of you disagree with me. Ah well!
