Dogs on Alaska Flight
This was a new one for me (and to the flight attendants and pilots as well it seemed).
Today my flight was delayed when a woman got on board with TWO large (90+ lbs) Boxers. They were on a wire/cable leash. Apparently she claimed they were "service dogs".
She got to her seat -- a middle seat mind you -- and tried to figure out what to do with her dogs.
The passenger on the aisle had to be reseated (he was pissed, understandable, as the only open seat was a middle seat) so there was room for the dogs.
The flight attendants had to work with her and even the pilot came out to check on how things were going.
It delayed take off by maybe 10 minutes.
I understand that the airlines are in a bind; they don't want to be accused of discrimination. But can't something be done?
As a side note; is there any reason (that I can't think of) why someone would need TWO large service dogs?
