On a similar note, there was a woman with a dog not in a carrier on flight 2836 from BOS to ATL on Wednesday. She boarded, saw that the seat next to her was (temporarily) open, and let her dog jump up on it! She even said something like "Ooh, maybe you'll get your own seat!" A few minutes later, the owner of that seat boarded. She didn't say anything, but what if she had been allergic to dogs or something? Completely unacceptable to let a dog jump on a seat. This wasn't even a little wiener dog. It was a small-medium sized dog. Looked like a young labdradoodle, but I'm not sure.
