Give it a rest. I've never seen a service animal cause a problem on a plane. If there were any allergies, they can be resolved quietly and privately.

Half the flights I take are disrupted by loud, bratty, seat-kicking, irritating children that can't even maintain the composure of a dog or a cat. We should worry about those and moving them to the back behind a soundproof barrier.

By the time the kids are raising hell at 30,000 I'm already worked up after the TSA abuse at the checkpoint. When the stewardess comes by with the booze to soothe the nightmare of air travel, that too has been jacked up in price to larcenous levels.

An occasional bark would be a huge improvement from the almost guaranteed screaming, whining, and seat kicking which have become an accepted part of air travel.

Please, if you're on my next flight, and you have an emotional comfort animal, share him with me. Meeting a well behaved animal companion will be a nice break from the stress.

Besides, air travel is already a three ring circus, so there have to be animals somewhere. The service tigers could not make it past the TSO tasked with stealing our pen knives and nail files.
