And yet, here he is, doing what he does 99% of the time in flight...snoozing.
Keep in mind he is a competition agility dog....quite a bit more fit and flexible than Rover Q. Public. He also is a certified Therapy Dog with over 100 hours of service visits--he is a calm and well-behaved traveler.
This is a cheapo carrier I bought off the shelf at Target on a trip last spring when the zipper broke on our Sherpa while travelling. The bag closed when I was re-loading him up after security in SFO and would not open after we landed in STL
he had to come out the top hatch. This photo is under seat 2C on a CR7
Here's the old Sherpa under a UA 752, middle seat in E+ --- but you can't sit in the middle seat on this UA plane with a pet since they have done the power outlets, has to be window now. All you can see is a bit of nose.
Since the death of the Sherpa, our favorite bag is the SturdiBag. He fits in the Large, but remember he's small for a corgi, and very, very fit. YMMV.
