I'm just curious how the animals emotionally support the person? Do they give a nice pep talk?
I am in the group thinking 95% of these people are scamming and just do not want to pay for their pet.
If you need a service dog (for the blind etc.) then I think we all get it. However, a dog for emotional support does not sound so legit. I also wonder how many other flyers can be affected by these dogs on the flights. What if a few people have allergies- is it fair that they suffer?
