I would certainly like to bring my dogs on board free, especially the one who is too big for a regulation pet carrier under the seat. They can both sit by me in my seat. Surely we can get next to an empty seat or the bulkhead, but if not my dogs are so cute anybody would be glad to squeeze in a little for them. It would be emotionally comforting to me not to have to fly alone, but it would be even more emotionally (and financially) comforting to me that my dogs would not have the stress of flying in a crate in the hold or staying behind in a kennel. My doctor who gave me my handicapped tag to get a better parking space will help me out with this, too. It's true I used to get by OK before I found out I could have my emotional support animal because I'm not really disturbed or unstable, don't use a walker, nothing like that. People who really are seriously disturbed, they need an attendant, not a dog. I would rather my dogs and I weren't seated by anybody like that.
